Parse log and extract fields from xml

Hi, I am trying to parse a log file through a regex and then parse the xml that is contained in a field.

This is the sample xml:

2016-03-04 00:02:05,546 DEBUG [net.ussouth.aps.shared.util.SysLogUtil] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><TxnReq xmlns="http://www.us-south.net/namespace/Transaction"><ReqCat>fastcard</ReqCat><ReqAction>Act</ReqAction><ReqRoute>dbservice</ReqRoute><TraceUID>8a848b128d531fe68940153400111f417ae</TraceUID><MerchDate>20160304</MerchDate><MerchTime>0002026</MerchTime><Product><Track1>;029874789000000000=</Track1><Track2>098722789000000000=</Track2><ExtSerNum>0987789000000000</ExtSerNum><UPC>07675004668</UPC><Denom>840</Denom><Amount>5.0</Amount></Product><Origin><MerchID>Toys R Us</MerchID><StoreID>0511927      TOYS</StoreID><TermID>051927330</TermID><TermType>FCMS</TermType><SrcRefNum>087591</SrcRefNum></Origin></TxnReq>

This is my query:

* | rex "(?<timestamp>(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}\:\d{2}\:\d{2}\,\d{3})) (?<loglevel>DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR) (?<origin>\[.*\]) (?s)(?<content>.*)" | table timestamp, loglevel, origin, content

As you can see, I am setting the xml inside content field. Now, I want to parse "content" field and extract all the fields from it. I have tried with spath and xmlkv commands but cannot find the way to apply them as I am not getting the expected result. Could it be because of the first part of the xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ?

If you have a better way to parse the log and xml please let me know.
Regards!

My bad. This is working.

source="txn.log" host="none" sourcetype= "txn log"| rex "(?<timestamp>(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}\:\d{2}\:\d{2}\,\d{3})) (?<loglevel>DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR) (?<origin>\[.*\]) (?s)(?<content>.*)" | xmlkv
