Hi,  
Im trying to parse MSSQL logs from Windows event log, into Elastic stack.  
Currently MSSQL logs to event viewer, and i use Winlogbeat 7,6 and Elastic stack 7,6 also. (installed under 1 month ago)  
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces  
Currently, all the MSSQL event logs goes into the message field, without getting parsed to seperate fields like it should.

Basically it seems like the same issue as [Parsing additional data in a windows event log](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-additional-data-in-a-windows-event-log/135157)

I am unsucsessful in using gsub to replace the delimiter, and was hoping for some guidance on the parsing.

Configs:

> ```
> 01input.conf
> input {
> beats {
> port => 5044
> tags => ["winlogbeat2"]
> }
> }
> 
> ```

20-parse-mssql.conf

> ```
> filter {
> mutate {
> gsub => [
> "message", "[\\n]", ","
> ]
> }
> }
> 
> ```

```
30-out-es.conf
    output {
      elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
        index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}"
      }
    }

```
