Can I use a multiline codec in the filter? I've more than 10k+ files of 3 different patterns logs pattern on S3 bucket that will be fetched using input plugin. One log pattern requires a multiline codec before start parsing them. I want to use it like filter { if [message] =~ /this regex/ { us…

If you could please add an example I would be greatful.
