How to extract events in xmlns tags

Experts,

Here is my Log content and I wish to extract fields like

<tns:SplunkLogs xmlns:tns=\http://www.example.org/SplunkLogs\>\n
    <tns:ServiceName>mmf-bwce-customerOrder.application</tns:ServiceName>\n
    <tns:TransactionId>123</tns:TransactionId>\n
    <tns:EventType>Hold</tns:EventType>\n
    <tns:TimeStamp>2017-06-05T04:04:06.051Z</tns:TimeStamp>\n
    <tns:Payload>123456</tns:Payload>\n
    <tns:ProcessName>Delivery</tns:ProcessName>\n
    <tns:Activity>Request</tns:Activity>\n
</tns:SplunkLogs>\n

All I need is to extract the fields like ServiceName, TransactionId and so on. I have done this thru props.conf and transforms.conf as below and it works perfectly fine. But I wish to move it as a search time extraction (Without a transforms.conf). Any input is appreciated.

my_stanza]
REPORT-xmlkv = xmlkv-alternative

Transforms.conf:
[xmlkv-alternative]
FORMAT = $2::$3
REGEX = <([^\s\>]*):([^\s\>]*)\>([^<]*)\<\/\1:\2\>

have a look at spath command:
The spath command enables you to extract information from structured data formats like XML

Thanks for the response. I was not able to extract the fields with spath as my field values are at the same level. Fortunately, I got a lead to use xmlkv from the documentation link with which I was able to get the desired field extracted. Thanks for your help
