Help Getting Data Out of .xml report

[avery2007]

I am trying to pull fields out of .xml file where I can make sense of them and put the info into a dashboard. I am trying to pull the ruleID, ruleResult, and result count out where they are relational to each other so I have (CVE#, Fail or Fixed, count#). I tried making new fields but Splunk doesn't see that these fields have any relation to each other and they just come up as individuals.

<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-1985">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-1985</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fail">
        <summRes:result count="15489"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-1820">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-1820</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fail">
        <summRes:result count="14560"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-4568">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-4568</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fail">
        <summRes:result count="13458"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-1156">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-1156</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fail">
        <summRes:result count="12567"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-5641">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-5641</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fail">
        <summRes:result count="11243"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-1985">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-1985</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fixed">
        <summRes:result count="900"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>

    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-1156</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fixed">
        <summRes:result count="726"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>
<summRes:ruleResult ruleID="CVE-2000-4568">
    <summRes:ident>CVE-2000-4568</summRes:ident>
    <summRes:ruleComplianceItem ruleResult="fixed">
        <summRes:result count="455"/>
    </summRes:ruleComplianceItem>
</summRes:ruleResult>

This is fake CVE data by the way... I'm not putting real vulnerabilities up on forums.

@avery2007 if you are indexing the XML file to Splunk and have KV_MODE=xml set in the props.conf for the same then XML values should get extracted automatically. I have used spath command in the run anywhere example below to extract the same fields using SPL. You can use the commands from | rename ... if KV_MODE=xml is set.
