How do we edit our props.conf sourcetype configuration for proper line breaking?

Need your help,

We want to split the event when the timestamp starts in the line, otherwise, it has to append the line with previous event:

Currently, we have this pattern and it's not working properly, Can you please help us to correct this?

[ingest_event]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d\s\d\d:\d\d:\d\d
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 150
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
category = Custom
pulldown_type = true
