my configuration,
multiline.pattern: '^[A-Za-z]{3}|^[A-Za-z]{4}|^[A-Za-z]{6}'
multiline.negate: true
multiline.match: before
multiline.max_lines: 2000

i have tried with negate False/True , match after/before ,

can someone help me what is wrong with above settings ?

i have tired with [[:alpha:]] in place of [A-Za-z] but that also did not worked for me .

Thanks,
Shashank

Only add a pattern for dates to 'pattern'. You want to collect all lines not starting with a date.

e.g. '^[A-Z][a-z]{2}, \d{4} \d:\d\d:\d\d [AP]M

@steffens

SEVERE: The web application [/context] appears to have started a thread named [pool-13-thread-12] 


as i have set max line as 2000 , will change it to 200 or 300 but all line should be as a single even so i am trying to form a pattern to combine  lines starting with  
Aug 23, 2018 2:38:23 AM or INFO: or SEVERE:  

but as you suggested above pattern would work only for lines starting with date not with other two . 

please suggest a way for above requirement . 

Thanks, 
Shashank

Does the file contain more logs? Like logs before or after you want to have as separate events?

Is your ask to send the complete file as one event? Do you have some kind of condition to split events?

The multiline feature will collect all matching lines. If max_lines is less then the actual line count, the the extra lines will be removed from the event. The max_lines setting does not configure a 'split'.

@steffens ,
yes file contains more , and i can send events in a group of 100-200 lines .
split events if it exceeds the max line a event like 100-200 .
