I have the following data which filebeat cannot process due to the new line

"field\_1","field\_2","field\_3","field\_4","field\_5",  
"921122.27872","

34905888319","FRGG","2022-09-23","XYZ"

What I need is that the second field will be indexed with the space in it. So the whole entry above will indexed as one line.

I do not seem to be able to do it with my current multiline yaml configuration.
