## How can i use the multiline codec to read TRANSACTION FLOW SUMMARY report as a one document like this:

```
 TRANSACTION FLOW SUMMARY 

```

* * *

## Transaction Type : null Direction : INWARD

## Amount : null From Bank : null From Branch : null From Account No : null From Account Name : null To Bank : null To Branch : null To Account No : null To Account Name : null Reference : null

## STAN : null RRN : null Date Time : null

## Status : null Response Code : null Response Desc : null

```
 COMPONENT SUMMARY 

```

## Id :1: Name:API: Time-Out :8sec: State :REVERSE\_COMPLETED Id :2: Name:LankaPay: Time-Out :5sec: State :REVERSE\_COMPLETED Id :3: Name:CBS: Time-Out :11sec: State :FORWARD\_NOT\_COMPLETED

Here is my current logstash Config  
input {  
file {  
type =\> "info"  
path =\> "C:/elastic\_stack/logstash-7.11.1/data/log\_info.txt"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
codec =\> multiline {  
pattern =\> "^%{DATESTAMP:timestamp}\s|\s%{GREEDYDATA:session-id}|%{WORD:channel}:[%{GREEDYDATA:log-info}]:%{GREEDYDATA:switch-message}"  
negate =\> true  
what =\> "previous"  
}  
}  
}

filter {

if [type] == "info" {  
grok {  
match =\> { "message" =\>"%{DATESTAMP:timestamp}\s|\s%{GREEDYDATA:session-id}|%{WORD:channel}:[%{GREEDYDATA:log-info}]:%{GREEDYDATA:switch-message}" }  
match =\> { "message" =\>"%{DATESTAMP:timestamp}\s|\s%{GREEDYDATA:switch-message}" }  
}  
}

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["192.168,1.1:9200"]  
index =\> "econlogtest1234"  
}  
}

i want to read my other messages like the grok pattern i used while reading reports as a document
