[syslog-ng] Windows Events multi-line

[Nagy, Gábor]

Hello,

Checking your configuration I see that you are using multi-line mode for a
network source driver.
Unfortunately, currently this is not supported, only the file() and pipe()
source drivers support multi-line messages.

I have checked the documentation and found that although it is mentioned
which source drivers support multi-line mode (under flags option
"no-multi-line"),
the multi-line-* options are included in the network source driver options
page.
This is a documentation bug, which will be fixed soon. Sorry for the
inconveniences.

Best Regards,
Gabor
