HI senthamilselvanj,
did you tried to insert in your props.conf something like the following configuration?

[ your_sourcetype]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE=\[Pra\]\s+KPI

Bye.

Hi Giuseppe,

Thank you for the replay, I tried but the syntax is not working as expected. Please find the below detailed info.
The below is my sample log files. All the information will come as single log file and i want to breaks this as separate events based on the delimiter "=====" . which is coming along with the log file.

Buffer pool hit ratio. This KPI is captured based on type, we can include Data, Index, XDA, COL. Formula is nice to have

I tried using the below props.config file to split the logs
[dbmonitoring]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = [=]+
DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
category = Application
pulldown_type = true

But still events are not separated as expected based on delimiter.

Thanks
