How to line break my XML file by using LINE_BREAKER or editing props.conf?

[abhishekdharga]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to breaks the events for my sample XML file. Below is the sample.
I need to break this on tag.
I tried LINE_BREAKER =([\r\n]*)</row> but its not working.
When I put in the same content on regex and put in the regex its matching 7 times, but it's not working through props.conf.
Can someone please help?

[maciep]

do you actually want that tag to be the line breaker? Or do you want splunk to break lines after it (or before the tag).

If you use it as the line breaker, then that tag will not show up in your events. So if you want it in your events, you might want to use break_only_before or a similar setting

[somesoni2 · Accepted solution]

Give this a try

SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
LINE_BREAKER=(\<row\s)

[abhishekdharga]

No it didn't work

[abhishekdharga]

It started working thanks actually i created my own app and edited props.conf then it worked.

[somesoni2]

YOu used both the properties as it is? How are you testing it, from Add Data flow in UI OR adding to props.conf on Indexer/Heavy Forwarder?

[abhishekdharga]

I am tried UI as well as props.conf

[abhishekdharga]

Then using one shot command I am adding that

[abhishekdharga]

I tried this too </\w+><row\s
