source.file multiline generates \n\t and How to handle characters like this?

[pingping95]

Hi.

I`m now testing vector for log pipeline at kubernetes environment.

I tested below config file and input java stack trace log to example log file.

[sources.file]
  type = "file"
  include = ["/Users/gimtaehun/Documents/test/vector/*.log"]

  [sources.file.multiline]
    start_pattern = '^\d+\-\d+\-\d+'
    mode = "halt_before"
    condition_pattern = '^\d+\-\d+\-\d+'
    timeout_ms = 1000

[sinks.out]
  type = "console"
  inputs = [ "file" ]
  target = "stdout"
  encoding.codec = "json"

This is succesfully combine multi-line logs well into one log.

but multiline generates \n\t .

So i want to know this is normal ?

If so, How to handle this \t\n (new line , tab) ?

my final goal is to send these multiline logs to Loki.

I just want to send these logs to Loki to make it easier for �developers to read.

thanks.

I solved this by changing encoding.codec at sink.

encoding.codec = ~~

thanks!
