how can I set line breaking for no of files having same extension in different folders under one sorce folder

[john]

All the below folders are from same source
eg:source="parent\\.\*."

folder name fileextension linebreaking
04/04/12 x.log Breaking on date for x
y.log Breaking on some string for y
z.log another line breaker for z

05/04/12 x.log Breaking on date for x

                                 y.log                 Breaking on some string for y

................so on
Please tell me the procedure how to configure both props and input.config or any other config files for the same.

Props.cofig
Source::....
sourcetype=...
[sourcetype]
linebreaking

input.cofig
monitor::/parent
priority=1
crcs...

This is my props and input.config files.How to create sourcetype for different files in a same folder instead of creating soucetype for each file seperatly in Datainputs.If we create source type mnually through datainputs then only splunk will identify the sourcetype or what?

[kristian_kolb]

One way to solve it;

inputs.conf

[monitor:///parent/a/*.log]
sourcetype=type_a

[monitor:///parent/b/*.log]
sourcetype=type_b

props.conf

[type_a]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true

[type_b]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)your_other_string_to_break_before

Hope this helps,

Kristian
