There are no data being index from our setup below. Does "Invalid key in stanza ..... line 36: kv_mode (value: xml)" is the reason? If yes, what's wrong with KV_MODE = xml?

From Splunk Logs:
04-14-2021 19:34:49.555 +0200 WARN Application - Invalid key in stanza [XXXX] in /opt/splunk/etc/deployment-apps/XXXXXX/local/props.conf, line 36: kv_mode (value: xml).\n
