Hi i am new to ELk stack .
i have a log file that contain many bills. every bill has more then 200 lignes of information plus the id of the bill presented in this way
informations about bill 1 : informations
bill ID : 1
\*\*\*\* END SUCESS date format \*\*\*\*\*
informations about bill 2 : informations
bill ID : 2
\*\*\*\* END SUCESS date format \*\*\*\*\*
i need to filter every bill by it iD in kibana , does any one have any idea how to do this ?
my idea was to split the logs with grok at the begining of every \*\*\*\* END SUCESS
but how can i put every bill in single message .

Use a multiline codec on the input to combine all the lines for a single bill.
