Use multiple codec in one file input

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hello,

Do you know if there is a possibility to use multiple codecs in the same file input?

I need to manage "multiline" and "plain" codecs for the same file.
Currently, here is my configuration (I have anonymized data):

input{
	
	# ASYNCHRONOUS LOGS
	file{
		
		# Ces deux lignes permettent de ré analyser tous les fichiers du répertoire
		start_position => beginning
		#sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
		# #######
		
		# Chemin du ou des fichiers de logs à analyser
		path => ["List of files to analyze"]
		# On exclut les fichiers d'erreurs
		exclude => "*_ERR.*"
		
		# Aggrégation de champs permettant d' identifier plus précisément les documents
		add_field => {"application" => "myapp"
					  "environment" => "test"
		}
		
		# Permet de gérer les retours à ligne vide de certains logs asynchrones
		codec => multiline{
			pattern => "^%{YEAR}[./-]%{MONTHNUM}[./-]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}"
			negate => true
			what => previous
		}
		
		# Type de fichier analysé
		type => "async"
	}
}

My need is to have the following:

		codec => multiline{
			pattern => "^%{YEAR}[./-]%{MONTHNUM}[./-]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}"
			negate => true
			what => previous
		}
		codec => plain{
			charset => "UTF-8"
		}

If you have any idea of how can i do that...

Thank you for your feedback

Why do you need the plain codec? Why not specify the charset in the multiline codec?

OOOhhhhh...
I've completely missed this attribute of multiline codec...

Thank you very much.

I think I can close this topic.

Again, thanks!
