Logstash multiline filter plugin giving unexpected responses












0















I have an application which can do 6 types of events. Each event is handled differently by the application and the steps taken are logged. So i wanted to see all the logs for each event in kibana.

I used logstash multiline filter plugin to stack up all the logs for each events. It worked, but it is giving weird result.



My configuration looks like this.




multiline {

pattern => "I created a pattern file which has all the patterns"

what => "previous"

max_age => 15

}




The actual logs my application creates:

logline 1.......

logline 2.......

logline 3.......

logline 4......

logline 5......

logline 6......

logline 7......


What i see in Kibana after adding logstash configuration:

logline 1......

logline 2......

logline 2......

logline 3......

logline 4......

logline 5......

logline 6......

logline 5......

logline 6......

logline 7......

Not sure why the log lines are concatenated multiple times?
