Dear support,
I have deployed the latest version 7.9 filebeat to include sonicwall syslog logs, i have enabled the sonicwall module, however the events in discover keep throwing the dissect\_parsing\_error.
Below are some of the logs and event details.

Hi Elastic Support,
I am also experiencing the same issue with the sonicwall module in filebeat 7.9. Can someone offer a solution for this parsing error?
