breaking lines before a regex

[DrRandDumb]

We have a tcp input that is merginging lines when they come in too fast.

I have (inputs)

[tcp://5140]
connection_host = dns
sourcetype=apigee
source=tcp:5140
index=apigee

I tried putting into props.conf the following info:

[apigee]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

But this doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way to force this to always break on newlines - alternately, I could regex to break BEFORE the <11>?

here is an example that is munged:
