By default, Sumo Logic Sources have multiline processing enabled, which is useful when logs contain messages that span multiple lines separated by line breaks, such as a stack trace. This way, the Source can detect when a log message spans multiple lines and then indexes this message as a single message.

If you want your Source to treat each log line as a separate message, you can deselect this option, **Detect messages spanning multiple lines**.
