Hi, everyone. I have unusual log with json  
`INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | Matched response definition: INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | { INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | "status" : 200, INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | "body" : "{\"tariffSpecId\":\"Tservserv\",\"hasSplitBill\":\"true\",\"services\":[{\"serviceSpecId\":\"Tservadd\"},{\"serviceSpecId\":\"SERVICE_ROAMING\"},{\"serviceSpecId\":\"SERVICE_ROAMING_BUSINESS\"}]}", INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | "headers" : { INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | "Content-Type" : "application/json", INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | "Connection" : "close" INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | } INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 | }`  
But as you see, I have another messages on each line (log level, module, timestamp). Could you suggest me any approach about how can I do it? I think that:  
I must remove any entries of `INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2017/06/11 10:29:22.699 |` and attach only messages through `multiline` filter-plugin. BUT! How can I choose these specific messages, without breaking of whole log with other records.  
Can I multiline message between two patterns? I mean between `(\s|\t)+{$` and `(\s|\t)+}$`?
