Hi All,

I have large XML file, i have indexed it using BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE and MUST_BREAK_AFT.
But i am getting partial events from not the whole.

From around 600, i am getting only 29 records.

I don't know whats the problem. I got this previously also.

I am giving this example log, but logs are too large in the size.
I am breaking it by tag.
Following is props.conf

[sourcetypename] 
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = <Detail>
MUST_BREAK_AFTER = <\/Detail>
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
category = Custom
description = For event breaking
disabled = false
pulldown_type = true
