stdin {

}
}
filter {
csv {

columns =\> ["GroupID", "Cookie"]
quote\_char =\> "Æ"
}
if [GroupID] {
csv {
separator =\> "|"
autogenerate\_column\_names =\> false
quote\_char =\> "Æ"
}
}
}
But now work. Last field including many new lines. So how to solve this problem with multiline codec and csv filter ?
i think,
Firstly using codec "multiline" ==\> Make an log with 1 line via multiline codec ==\> Parsing with csv filter.
