Hi ,

The Logstash client on the application box is configured to identify multiline events and send each event as a single JSON to BLC.
below is the snippet of data , which is a signle line event with \n and \t characters :
{

"hostname": "ip-10-13-0-248",
"@timestamp": "2018-01-05T08:57:51.861Z",
"@version": "1",

}

some characters have to be escaped, such as newlines and double quotes, in order to convert to JSON. After this, the Logstash client has no control over what is done with the event, whether on BLC or on Splunk. What we need is that this event should appear in Splunk as a multiline text event.

Can anyone give any suggestion , please?

What are the props.conf settings for that sourcetype? Are you using LINE_BREAKER = ([\n\r]+)?
