Unable to insert new lines in format field for message formatting

[udaysagar2177]

Hi,

For better viewing my message in Slack, I want to insert new lines into my message/format field of logstash-output-slack plugin. But when I do something like this

output {
  slack {
    ...
    format => "line 1 \n line 2"
    ...
  }
}

I am getting a message in my slack as line 1 \n line 2 but not as two different lines. I think, the format field is being received as line 1 \\n line 2 by your plugin. Can you do anything to fix that? Thanks!

Sounds like this is caused by elastic/logstash#1645.

That is correct :) It is working when config.support_escapes is set to true
