Hi I am trying to divide the the logs into different evwnt based on below scenario:

I have one single event currently:

Issuer : hjlhjk

a: xyz 

PrivateKey : abc

Issuer : dfjh

a: fhfh

PrivateKey : dsgd

 

Now I want it as two events:

 

event1:

Issuer : hjlhjk

a: xyz 

PrivateKey : abc

 

event2:

Issuer : dfjh

a: fhfh

PrivateKey : dsgd

 

how can i get this?

 

 

I tried below line breaking which is not working

[sourcetype]
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)(PrivateKey)

 

[sourcetype]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = Issuer
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

Hi @scelikok I missed mentioning that Private key can be one of the below format:

format 1:

PrivateKey : abc.def.ghi.jkl

 

format 2:

PrivateKey : 

 

Meaning it can be empty as well as in format 1

These logs are collected using scripted input using .bat file it has several lines in one events , I only showed 6 lines per event but the repetion is same with more lines in between privatekey and issuer
