I wrote a multiline pattern to read multiple lines of a log .Now when i start the filebeat I see the same line twice on my kibana dashboard.

filebeat multiline pattern

multiline.pattern: '^[[:space:]]Event:[[:space:]][[:alpha:]]+[[:space:]][[:alpha:]|.]+[[:space:]][[:alnum:]|-]+[[:space:]][[:alnum:]|:|.]+[[:space:]]([[:alnum:]|-]_/[0-9|.]_)\n'  
multiline.negate: false  
multiline.match: after

my log-  
Event: ERROR com.manish.trans.logistics.lms.framework.exception.ABCException 2019-10-24 18:45:08.273 (In-Manish-1/129.221.10.40)  
Thread: JBossWeb-threads - 16  
LOG ID VALUE : 5021 from null

my logstasg grock pattern  
grok {  
match =\>  
{  
"message" =\> "%{SPACE}%{WORD:Event}:%{SPACE}%{WORD:loglevel} %{JAVACLASS:ExceptionClass}%{SPACE}%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp}%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:message}"  
#"message" =\> "%{SPACE}%{WORD:Event}:%{SPACE}%{LOGLEVEL:loglevel} %{WORD:uw}.%{WORD:com}.%{WORD:unisys}.%{WORD:trans}.%{WORD:logistics}.%{WORD:lms}.%{WORD:framework}.%{WORD:uw}.%{WORD:ExceptionClass}._%{IP:msg})(?(.|\r|\n)_)"

```
	 }		 
}
```
