The multiline filter is no longer available. Maybe it was dropped in 5.0. Use the multiline codec instead.

```
My config file for filter--
           if [type] == "SVNXML" {
	       codec => multiline {
			pattern => "^<log"
			negate => true
			what => previous
		}

```

Error- **:reason=\>"Expected one of #, { at line 24, column 9 (byte**  
\*\* 347) after filter {\n\tif [type] == "SVNXML" {\n\t\tcodec "}\*\*
