Duplicated events indexing xml file

Cris

Hi,

I've a simple xml file to index. The problem is that every time a new event is added the entire xml file is reindexed.
The reason is that the new event is added not at the end of the xml file but before the last line (xml closing tag).

Below the xml example file. You can see the header (first line), the footer (last line) and two events (between tag "Log"):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Sla>
<Log>
<Global>
<Target>DCxyz</Target>
<MethodName>FSE.pubblicDocument</MethodName>
<TrackID>141211804696927646</TrackID>
<Timestamp>01-10-2014 01:00:00</Timestamp>
</Global>
</Log>
<Log>
<Global>
<Target>DCxyz</Target>
<MethodName>FSE.pubblicDocument</MethodName>
<TrackID>141211809118823145</TrackID>
<Timestamp>01-10-2014 02:00:00</Timestamp>
</Global>
</Log>
</Sla>

Any idea to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks a lot.

You could break up the XML into individual events by the using Global xml tag.

In props.conf
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+) Global>
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 20
TIME_PREFIX = TIMESTAMP>
KV_MODE = xml
