Hello!

In filebeat.yml I split my log file using multiline.pattern  
snippet filebeat:  
multiline.type: pattern  
multiline.pattern: '---------'  
multiline.negate: true  
multiline.match: after

In discover, it is displayed in such a way that it completely eliminates me

And in the dashboard it is displayed as follows

 ![dashboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/625081c35ff442fdaa54014754ddee65f5bcd125.png)

Is it possible to display text as multiline in dashboard? For example, as in discover?

You should be able to control that with the "Maximum table cell height" advanced setting - simply set it to a very high number. See if this helps.

The problem was closed by updating from kibana 7.13.2 to 7.14.1
