Hello,

This is the line im trying to skip.

Trace Opening D:/nlog-all-2020-09-04.log with allowFileSharedWriting=False

Still dont work. Maybe because that line starts with date + time? Is that possible?

All lines in that file starts with date + time but only the trace opening one is unwanted.

Hi
It's easier to help you, if you post real sample which whole line instead of tell partially what it contains.

I just recommend that try SEDCMD to delete extra line.

Hi @Glace , could you please advise whether this line is one event or its part of an event when you are trying to ingest the log file in Splunk?
