The LogfileInput is not limited to traditional lines. The delimiter can occur anywhere in the input defining what constitutes a line but you cannot use the regex end of line anchor for it to work. Based on your example it looks likes you are dealing with traditional log lines and batching them into a single message would defer the parsing to the consumer (usually a filter) which is not recommended but it is possible.
