You can handle that in your configuration here are the docs from Elasticsearch on [filebeat-\>multiline](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/multiline-examples.html)

I found a random example of the multiline commands being used [here](https://community.graylog.org/t/if-you-wanted-to-use-filebeat-with-add-docker-metadata-processor-rejoice-theres-a-dirty-solution-to-make-it-work/7862)… that post doesn’t solve the problem is is just an example of multiline processing in the sidecar configuration.
