Identifiing multiline Messages not working

#1 fiddell 9 years ago

Hi,

i have follwing logentry:

------------- New entry --------------------

line 1

line 2

line 3

line x

{blank line}

------------- New entry --------------------

line 1

line 2

line 3

line x

{blank line}

I try to parse this with the multiline extension with following configuration:

<Extension multiline>
Module   xm_multiline
HeaderLine   /^--/
EndLine   /^$/
</Extension>

<Input in>
Module   im_file
File   "input.txt"
SavePos   FALSE
ReadFromLast TRUE
InputType   multiline
Exec   if $raw_event !~ /^--/ drop();
Exec $raw_event = replace($raw_event, "\r\n", ";");
</Input>

<Output out>
Module om_file
File "output.txt"
</Output>

When i write one line and save then the input-file nxlog outputs only the header. When i write the complete entry a once nxlog works as expected. What iam doing wrong?

Incomplete multiline messages will be flushed by im_file if no new data arrives within PollInterval.
