             Summary: RegexFilter does not match multiline log messages
                 Key: LOG4J2-696
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-696
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Filters
    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
            Reporter: phil wray
         Attachments: RegexFilterTest.java

RegexFilter is constructed with a pattern, but pattern does not support multiline matches, so impossible for the filter to ever match a multiline msg.
Should maybe provide a multline="x attribute whichi should default to true and result in the patter being compiled as such:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(".*line.*", Pattern.DOTALL);

See attached UnitTest illustrating failure
