I have a bit of an unconventional log system from some legacy codebase where the log is in a multiline format.

```
Example : 
 Sat May 9 00:00:02 2020
 key = value
 key1 = value1
 key2 = value2
 key2 = value2
 key3 = value3
 key4 = value4
 key5 = value5

blank line 

 Sat May 9 00:00:03 2020
 key = value
 key1 = value1
 key2 = value2
 key3 = value3
 key4 = value4
 key5 = value5
 key6 = value6

```

logs are separated by a blank line. how.  
I can read this log using filebeat multiline file module.  
Any kind of pointers will be appreciated.

Thank you and regards
