Hi

When I use the share function of Kibana Elastic search to download a CSV of the logs, the multiline error messages are not displayed correctly in Excel. If I have a multiline message, it is distributed in excel on several lines. This makes the whole log hard to read. Is there already a solution for this issue?

Thanks
