This is my log sample that all lines are starting with follow :  
134.255.248.30 - - [01/May/2024:13:54:53 +0330]  
I want to use multiline pattern in my filebeat.yml file so I used follow syntax

parsers:

- multiline:  
type: pattern  
pattern: ^([\d.]{3,17} - - [[\d/:]{1,4}[A-Z]{1,3}[a-z/]{1,5}[\d:]{1,20})  
negate: true  
match: after
