I don't think you can have a swiss army knife solution to a wild card problem. Please decently describe the data conents / structure in all cases, for every case, in detail. Are above the only three cases, or are there more? Is that pipe symbol enclosed in spaces or not always? Could it be used as a field separator? WIll the more-than-four-line data always be using braces to enclose the last field? One level of braces only?

You seem to want to print sth. like
Code:
server1 drwxr-xr-x
server2 drwxr-xr-x

in the "good cases". What should be the output in the "FAILED" cases? What in the multiline case?


You could use sth. like this to get the full records to operate upon:

Code:
awk -F\| '
function RDREST()       {getline X; $0 = $0 " | " X
                        }
/{$/    {while (! /}/) RDREST()
        }
NF < 4  {RDREST()
        }

' file
server1 | CHANGED | rc=0 >> | drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 77 Apr 18  2018 /directory1
server2 | CHANGED | rc=0 >> | drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 120 Feb 14  2019 /directory2

knife-configure

KNIFE-CONFIGURE(1)						    Chef Manual 						KNIFE-CONFIGURE(1)

NAME

       knife-configure - Generate configuration files for knife or Chef Client

SYNOPSIS

       knife configure [client] (options)

DESCRIPTION

       Generates a knife.rb configuration file interactively. When given the --initial option, also creates a new administrative user.

CONFIGURE SUBCOMMANDS

       knife configure (options)

       -i, --initial
	      Create an initial API Client

       -r, --repository REPO
	      The path to your chef-repo

       Create  a configuration file for knife. This will prompt for values to enter into the file. Default values are listed in square brackets if
       no other entry is typed. See knife(1) for a description of configuration options.

       knife configure client directory

       Read the knife.rb config file and generate a config file suitable for use in /etc/chef/client.rb and copy the validation  certificate  into
       the specified directory.

EXAMPLES

       o   On  a  freshly  installed  Chef Server, use knife configure -i to create an administrator and knife configuration file. Leave the field
	   blank to accept the default value. On most systems, the default values are acceptable.

	   user@host$ knife configure -i
	   Please enter the chef server URL: [http://localhost:4000]
	   Please enter a clientname for the new client: [username]
	   Please enter the existing admin clientname: [chef-webui]
	   Please enter the location of the existing admin client's private key: [/etc/chef/webui.pem]
	   Please enter the validation clientname: [chef-validator]
	   Please enter the location of the validation key: [/etc/chef/validation.pem]
	   Please enter the path to a chef repository (or leave blank):
	   Creating initial API user...
	   Created (or updated) client[username]
	   Configuration file written to /home/username/.chef/knife.rb

	   This creates a new administrator client named username, writes a configuration file to /home/username/.chef/knife.rb, and  the  private
	   key to /home/username/.chef/username.pem. The configuration file and private key may be copied to another system to facilitate adminis-
	   tration of the Chef Server from a remote system. Depending on the value given for the Chef Server URL, you may need to modify that set-
	   ting after copying to a remote host.
