Issues with event parsing using prop configuration file

Hello,

I have some issues with parsing events and a few sample events are given below:

{"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"A021", "accountId":"Adm01", "accessKey":"21asaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:10:15", "statusCode":"active"} {"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"A021", "accountId":"Adm01", "accessKey":"21asaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:09:11", "statusCode":"active"} {"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"A021", "accountId":"Adm02", "accessKey":"26dsaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:09:08", "statusCode":"active"} {\"eventVer\":\"2.56", "userId":"B001", "accountId":"Test04", "accessKey":"21fsda", "time":"2023-12-03T09:09:04", "statusCode":"active"} {\"eventVer\":\"2.56", "userId":"B009", "accountId":"Adm01", "accessKey":"21assaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:09:01", "statusCode":"active"} {"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"B023", "accountId":"Adm01", "accessKey":"30tsaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:08:55", "statusCode":"active"} {"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"A025", "accountId":"Adm01", "accessKey":"21asaa", "time":"2023-12-03T09:08:51", "statusCode":"active"} {"eventVer":"2.56", "userId":"C015", "accountId":"Dev01", "accessKey":"41scab", "time":"2023-12-03T09:08:48", "statusCode":"active"}

The event breaking point is marked as Bold and I used 

LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]*)\{"eventVer":"

in my prop.conf file, but not parsing all events as expected. Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like you don't have nested json events in there, so have you tried to just regex by the } and { characters?

Try this:
[your_sourcetype]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = \}\s+\{
