How do you add new field extraction and do proper line breaking? (Sourcetype=XMLWinEventLog)

An example of my raw text is attached. How do I do the field extraction and also proper line breaking in event logs like this? I've changed renderXml to true so as to reduce the resource intensity. the sourcetype is XmlWinEventLog

Question resolved, I changed renderXml to false and proceed using regex (example: rex in splunk) to actually extract fields, this way its much more efficient. In my opinion.

Hi @Kitteh,

You can install Splunk_TA_Windows add-on (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742/) to extract fields during search time.

Hi @harsmarvania57,

No this is not Sysmon data. Particularly on Windows Event Viewer log on application, system and security.
