Have you tried using Filebeat . You need to configure `multiline` settings in the `filebeat.yml` file to specify which lines are part of a single event. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/multiline-examples.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/multiline-examples.html)  
another option is scripted fields.

Thanks
