Hi @syloee 

You can try following, make sure you set TIME* stamp extractions as well. Following works for event starts with <Interceptor> and the same tag would be truncated you won't find it in the event. These settings should be deployed to HF/indexer.

[ __auto__learned__ ]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
LINE_BREAKER=(\<Interceptor\>)
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true

An upvote would be appreciated and Accept solution if it helps!
