For those interested in deploying Log Insight 2.0 for the first time, setting up a new Log Insight instance, or creating a Log Insight cluster, this video is for you!

The wait is over, Log Insight 2.0 is now generally available! This post contains all the details you need to know.
There appears to be some confusion on Log Insight’s support of multiline messages that I would like to clear up. The title gives it away, but I would like to discuss the details!
