help with line-breaking

[a212830]

Hi,

I have a feed coming in from db connect, which I can't get to line-break properly.

My props is:
[Performance]
ANNOTATE_PUNCT = false
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = app_name="
KV_MODE = auto
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 160
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIME_FORMAT = %m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S
TIME_PREFIX = time="

And here's some samples... I'm still getting a fair amount of multi-line events, but they should be breaking at the app_name field.

Try this instead:

BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = \s*app_name="

Thanks. Tried it - same results:

ANNOTATE_PUNCT = false
KV_MODE = auto
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 160
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE= \s*app_name="
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
TIME_FORMAT = %m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S
TIME_PREFIX = time="
pulldown_type = 1

I am not sure why you would be having this problem but you should also change MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD to 19, regardless. Do you need SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true? If not (i.e. all logs are always on a single line), change this to false and that should do it.
