Trouble with Field Extraction with multiple values on multiple lines

20065945
Explorer

For the below data I want to create fields highlighted in data. The problem while extracting is that the data is in multiple lines so it is not considering as one event.

For Example: all this data under INFO should be as one event.
INFO: SOKY 01.05.2015 00:07:40.519
IDENT: GRS.S_FILEMANAGER_LASTFILES
PROCESS: FILEMAN
SOFTKEY: SYS:/resource/sk1024x768dirlastfils.bmx

Similarly for other tags also.

Sample data
