Hi,

I'm getting an xml feed which is ugly. Very busy, lots of info...

Are there any options to apply that will make it easier to read - nice and pretty, like if xml tidy had been applied (see below)

Thanks. Tried it - doesn't seem to work with Splunk 6 - bunch of errors. Great idea for an app though, especially since more and more data seems to be xml based. I'll keep plugging.
