Doc Text:
Cause: Fluentd did not look for continuation log lines from the docker json-file or journald log driver. Consequence: Very long log lines were split in Elasticsearch and Kibana. Fix: Change Fluentd to look for continuation log lines and reconstruct them before sending to Elasticsearch. We used a Fluentd plugin called fluent-plugin-concat to do this. We had to backport the 2.4.0 version to Fluentd 0.12.43 in order to work with OCP 3.11. Result: Very long log lines are not split in Elasticsearch. The entire log can be viewed in Kibana.

Verified in 3.11.141.
USE_MULTILINE_JSON - default false - if set to true, and you are using docker with --log-driver=json-file (which is the default), Fluentd will reconstruct whole log records from the docker log partial fragments
