Merge log content coming from the same log.source

Hi,

I want to parse my log with OpenPipeline, and I quickly encountered a problem displaying the full contents of my log file. When I display my logs (cf. screenshot in Log classic view), I notice that for the same log file, I will have several lines of content displayed regardless of the timeframe. How can I have the log file ingest in its entirety in Dynatrace?

Thank you

Hi.

From the screenshot you shared, I assume logs are collected via OneAgent.

There is a Log entry boundary configuration available that configures OneAgent to proper do log splitting during ingest: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/analyze-explore-automate/logs/lma-log-ingestion/lma-log-ingestion-via-oa/lma-log-entry-boundary

Additional option would be to check if in "Timestamp/Splitting patterns" configuration there is no 0 set under "Timestamp search limit" for this log source.

(this way OneAgent ignores timestamps and split logs based on default rules - In such case, each line that doesn't start with a whitespace is treated as the beginning of a new log record, and is automatically assigned a timestamp that is the time of reading a log record by OneAgent.)
