I can't seem to get log-courier to startup

go install . ./lc-admin ./lc-tlscert

}

please advise

You can now specify multiple codecs in version 2 so you'll need to update your configuration. See: https://github.com/driskell/log-courier/blob/master/docs/Configuration.md#codecs

Also, the multiline codec in version 2 removes negate and allows multiple patterns, and each pattern can be negated individually using a prefix of !. See: https://github.com/driskell/log-courier/blob/master/docs/codecs/Multiline.md

You'll want to change your "codec" bit to something like:

    "codecs": [{
      "name": "multiline",
      "patterns": ["^[A-Z\t]"],
      "what": "next"
    }],

Thank you Should have spent more time reading your docs than following tl;dr blogs
