Multiline under multiline filebeat

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi,
I split each log using multiline filebeat:

- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - D:\elastic_stack\journal\*
  fields:
        kafka_topic: "kafka-topic-1"
  
  multiline.type: pattern
  multiline.pattern: '^\s*\*TR\sSTART\*\s*'
  multiline.negate: true
  multiline.match: after
  multiline.max_lines: 1000

So with that it gives me every *TR START* gives me a document, sometimes I found a document like this:

*TR START*                
 AAAA INS                          
AAAA: 666677777

  TR REFUSEE

So I want to split it with multiline TR REFUSEE it means give me a new document, for this example so it would have to add me 3 new documents because I have 3 TR REFUSEE

Any help would be sincerely appreciate!
Thanks!

I mean after splitting the hole file with TR START if there is TR REFUGEE in one document do the multiline with 20 lines for example.
i tried this

- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - D:\elastic_stack\journal\*
  fields:
        kafka_topic: "kafka-topic-1"
  
  multiline.type: pattern
  multiline.pattern: '^\s*\*TR\sSTART\*\s*'
  multiline.negate: true
  multiline.match: after
  multiline.max_lines: 1000
  multiline.type: pattern
  multiline.pattern: '^\s*TR\sREFUSEE\s*'
  multiline.negate: true
  multiline.match: after
  multiline.max_lines: 20

but it split me the whole file with TR REFUSED :confused: i don't know how it works

Any help would be sincerely appreciate!
Thanks!

Hi,

Would it work if you configure a pattern that matches both strings that you expect to start a document?

Something like this (not tested):

  multiline.type: pattern
  multiline.pattern: '^\s*(\*TR\sSTART\*|\s*TR REFUSEE)\s*'`
  multiline.negate: true
  multiline.match: after
  multiline.max_lines: 1000
