Hi folks, I try to read an event in Logstash, received via tcp. This event contains line feeds and unfortunately at the logstash filter, where I try to remove the linefeeds via mutate/gsub, I already receive each line one by one as single events. How can I make the logstash input clear, that the entire tcp payload should be treated as one event containing a message with line feeds ? BR, Danny ---

The [tcp input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-tcp.html) treats each line as an event. You might be able to combine them using a multiline codec with an auto\_flush\_interval. Or perhaps you could find a way to use an http input plugin instead. ---
