Text="Application: Directory started" Category="BIG" Module="WorkflowHost"

This works fine for me with your sample data.

On Indexer,

props.conf

[thexml]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^\<message\>
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 150
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
pulldown_type = 1
REPORT-xmlext = xmlkv-alternative

transforms.conf

[xmlkv-alternative]
REGEX = <([^\s\>]*)[^\>]*\>([^<]*)\<\/\1\>
FORMAT = $1::$2

Thanks strive but I went through all these links. There is no solution over there. All the conversations are stuck at one point. Hence failure. 🙂
