Hi,

Below message I'm getting from filebeat (7.0.1). I want to filter it in different line. How we can do it in filebeat.yml file? any help will be appreciable.

| **t** log.flags | multiline |
| --- | --- |
| | |

| | **t** message | Audit file /opt/oracle/admin/TESTPP/adump/TESTPP\_ora\_118015\_20200227162922728552143795.aud Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, Automatic Storage Management, OLAP, Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options ORACLE\_HOME = /opt/oracle/12.1.0.2 System name: Linux Node name: [testhost.mycompany.com](http://testhost.mycompany.com) Release: 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86\_64 Version: #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:15:38 EST 2016 Machine: x86\_64 Instance name: TESTPP Redo thread mounted by this instance: 1 Oracle process number: 92 Unix process pid: 118015, image: [oracle@testhost.mycompany.com](mailto:oracle@testhost.mycompany.com) (TNS V1-V3) |

Hi!

If these logs are not from a service that is supported by the current [Filebeat modules](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-modules.html) then you will need to forward the raw messages to logstash and analyze them there.

Another option in order to achieve this with only Filebeat would be to use [processor-script](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/processor-script.html) in order to parse and analyze the raw message. Note that this might be not the best option in terms of performance.
