<div class="alert alert-danger">This feature is available for Agent version <strong>7.65.0+</strong> and above. For older Agent versions or to explicitly enable the legacy implementation, see <a href="/agent/logs/auto_multiline_detection_legacy">Auto Multi-line Detection and Aggregation (Legacy)</a>. For Agent versions older than <strong>7.82.x</strong>, Auto multi-line Detection is disabled by default.</div>

## Overview

Automatic multi-line detection allows the Agent to detect and aggregate common multi-line logs automatically.

## Getting started

To enable the Auto multi-line feature in your Agent configuration, set `auto_multi_line_detection` to `true` in your configuration file, or set the `DD_LOGS_CONFIG_AUTO_MULTI_LINE_DETECTION=true` environment variable:
Auto multi-line detection is enabled by default. To disable the Auto multi-line feature in your Agent configuration, set `auto_multi_line_detection` to `false` in your configuration file, or set the `DD_LOGS_CONFIG_AUTO_MULTI_LINE_DETECTION=false` environment variable:

auto_multi_line_detection: true
auto_multi_line_detection: false
```
