Unwanted splitting of messages

Graylog Central (peer support)
1

Hi,

I’m sending message to syslog using UDP. Have the situation that message is multi lined, and in that case every line is new message. So how to handle situation like this (example of message is in the mottom of email). The result I want to get is to have complete message not multiple messages

Thanks

Example:

08:12:08,679 ERROR caa50b942c0e4981b427057eb8c336d9 ExceptionExtensions.Log -

please put your log into code blog to be better readable:

YOUR LOG

if you have Multiline Logfiles you will need to use another shipper that can work with multi line messages. For example filebeat, controlled by the collector sidecar.

Hi
Thanks for your answer, I fact we are using log4net, and it sends exception message in multi lined.

Maybe better approach would to wrap every single line with date and GUID that is related to event.
