How do I extract field values from XML logs?

Hi,

I have log files containing text and XML. I need to extract all fields from the XML rows.

alt text

I tried using

Props.conf:

TRUNCATE = 0
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
pulldown_type = 1
KV_MODE = xml
TRANSFORMS = itepm339-xml

And transforms.conf

REGEX = \<(\w+[^\n\/\>]+)\/?\>([^\<\n][^\<]*)\<
FORMAT = $1::$2

It works, but extracts only the first couple field-value from XML:

alt text

Please can you help me to understand what i am missing?
