After enabling multiline.pattern, filebeat service not starting

[Bhaskar_Balapuram]

Hi Team,
There is requirement of shipping multiple lines of logs to elasticsearch. Here is the configuration which i placed in filebeat.yml file.

=============

• type: docker
  combine_partial: true
  containers:
  path: "/var/lib/docker/containers"
  stream: "stdout"
  ids:
  - ""
  multiline.pattern: '.[.((\n.){50})'

  multiline.negate: false

  multiline.match: before

========================
After updating above configurations, filebeat service is not starting. Can you please advice to fix the issue.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Bhaskar.

After updating above configurations, filebeat service is not starting.

Are you seeing any errors or warnings in the Filebeat logs after trying to restart it?
