I have a file in the below format 
Ex:
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
 
I am using no pattern since I want all the lines in the text to send to Logstash which is around 2000 lines.
If the file is in the below format it works. 
Ex:
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
 
If the file is in the above format multiline works.
Could you please help me out with this.

              Hi @andrewkroh ,

              Please don't open 2 threads for the same issue 
  
  
    I think you need to set a multiline pattern like this: 
multiline.pattern: '.'
   
 
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
           
          
            
            
              @exekias  Sorry for the trouble
