Is it possible to pass the field to the next event.  
My log is multi-line:

> root: 192.168.1.10|unknown (66/tcp)|92567|Low|description|  
> root: 192.168.1.10|unknown (26/tcp)|92567|Low|description|  
> root: 192.168.1.10|unknown (56/tcp)|92567|Low|description|

In the field I will pass the number of occurrences of the word 'low'

my grok config:

> grok { match =\> ["message", "%{IPV4:host\_ip}|%{DATA:protokol\_port}|%{NUMBER:nessus\_id}|%{WORD:threatlvl}|%{DATA:description}|"] }

Unfortunately, each line of the log is parsed as a separate event and I can not pass the field
