The pattern for the `TIME` field has a newline in it. If you are not using multiline codec and split as described [in this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/problem-with-parsing-multiline-filter-plugin/135906) it will not work as all lines will be processed separately and therefore not contain any newline.
