Hi,

I am trying to get logs whose are on two different lines :

> [2019-06-18T06:57:32.032Z] [org.kie.api.internal.utils.tydhiks] [main] [141] [INFO]  
> Adding Service org.drools.core.concurrent.EEEeeF

In my logstash I tried :

```
 grok {
      patterns_dir => "/u01/app/elk-config/logstash/patterns"
          match => ["message", "(?m)\[(?<timestamp>%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601})\]\[%{DATA:servlet}\]\[%{WORD:branch}\]\[%{DATA:PID}\]\[%{DATA:level}\]%{DATA:log_message}"]
     }

```

but it does not take the second line in the same json and I've got a "\_grokparsefailure" on my field log\_message.

I tried :

```
    filter {
        mutate {
           gsub => ["message", "\s\n*", ""]
       }
    }

```

but it does not change anything  
Do you have an idea ?  
Thanks

Are both lines part of the same event?

DATA does not match newlines. Try

```
match => ["message", "^\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}\] \[%{DATA:servlet}\] \[%{WORD:branch}\] \[%{DATA:PID}\] \[%{DATA:level}\]%{GREEDYDATA:log_message}"]
```

Hi,

Have a look at this. Sounds similar to what you are trying to achieve
