I am running filebeat v1.1.1 and can't seem to get multiline to work unless the input timeout passes.
my data is from NNMi (trying to forward audit to ELK), the data/log looks like...
2016-03-08 14:31:49,744 INFO [com.hp.ov.nms.ui.framework.util.SignInOutAuditLog] (tomcat-exec-10) Failed Sign In Attempt
User: system
Remote Host: 192.168.1.5
Remote Port: 60542

2016-03-08 14:31:53,658 INFO [com.hp.ov.nms.ui.framework.util.SignInOutAuditLog] (tomcat-exec-10) Successful Sign In
User Account: system
NNMi Role: Administrator (admin)
Client Host: 192.168.1.5
Client Port: 60542
Locale: {5}
My multiline config (was pattern: "^[::alpha::]" but changed to digit based on another thread)
multiline:
pattern: "^[::digit::]{4}-[::digit::]{2}-[::digit::]{2}"
negate: true
match: after
If the 2 lines are within the input timeout i get the following event out of filebeat where both lines are one event. Any help with what I am diong wrong in this case?
