Hi @vineela,

which sourcetype did you used for your data source?

if you are using one with the option "INDEXED_DATA = xml", you automatically have all the fields in your events.

otherwise you have to use some regexes to extract them:

 

| rex "\<EventCode\>(?<EventCode>[^\<]+).*\<Severity\>(?<Severity>[^\<]+).*<Text>(?<Text>.*)\>\<\/Text\>"

 

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/ZrYeyg/1

Ciao.
