Hello,

I am curious if you can set/override the multiline parameters within individual modules. I am trying to use a commonly configured filebeat instance within a larger project, of which, they currently and/or may not want to use multiline patterns in the future. However, since I am trying to use Kibana for viewing my normal log files (which may include stack traces), I would like to make use of this feature. I have tried to set this up myself but haven't had much luck and would like to know if this is possible before I drive myself crazy.

Thanks for your help!
