Data Onboarding line break at empty lines

[inventsekar]

Hi.. 

Spent some one or two hrs, but no luck, hence posting here.. the sample logs:

1.1.1. test log a
1.1.1. test log abc

1.1.2. test log b
1.1.2. test log bcd

one thing - no need to worry about timestamps. 

one log will have around 10 events.
the lines with the starting 1.1.1. should be one event, 1.1.2. should be next event and so on.. 

or simply, the empty lines should break the events. 

please suggest, thanks.

FYI - it's the \v metacharacter that makes it work.  From the references I found it means vertical tab or vertical whitespace character, which in this instance would equate to the blank line.

Hi @inventsekar 

Give this ago...

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

 Not exactly sure why the \s makes a difference - regex101 says \s matches any whitespace character (equivalent to [\r\n\t\f\v  ]) - but it tested OK when I used it 

Hope that helps
