Line break or merge?

Hi all,

How would I go about merging multiple values on multiple lines so all values are captured? Currenlty, I am only seeing values from the first line. Data below.

2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="135" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="svchost" PID="860"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="443" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="System" PID="4"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="445" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="System" PID="4"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="3389" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="svchost" PID="2480"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="4445" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="enstart64" PID="1760"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="5985" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="System" PID="4"
2018-01-23 13:48:42 Protocol="TCP" LocalAddress="0.0.0.0" LocalPort="8089" RemoteAddress="0.0.0.0" RemotePort="0" State="LISTENING" ProcessName="splunkd" PID="10180"

Thanks!

Do all these lines part of one Splunk event? OR they appear (each line with timestamp) as separate event?

Believe so. Each line begins with a timestamp and there are several values for the fields shown that appear on each line. This is a dump of the netstat -ano command on a Windows server.

You can use props.conf to prevent line breaking but you will need a unique identifier at the end or beginning of your event. Then you can use RegEx to locate that identifier to group everything.
