Hello,

I have some issues to perform multi-line field extraction for XML, my in-line extraction is not getting any result; sample events and my in-line extraction are provided below. Any help would be appreciated. 

Sample Events:

<Event>

<ID>0123011</ID>

<Time>2023-10-28T05:22:37.97011</Time>

<Application_Name>Test</Application_Name>

<Host_Name>VS0SMADBEFT</Host_Name>

</Event>

<Event>

<ID>01232113</ID>

<Time>2023-10-28T05:22:37.99011</Time>

<Application_Name>Test</Application_Name>

<Host_Name>VS0SMADBEFT</Host_Name>

</Event>

 

In Line Extraction I Used

<ID>(?<ID>[^<]+)<\/ID>([\r\n]*)<Time>(?<Time>[^<]+)</Time>([\r\n]*)<Application_Name>(?<Application_Name>[^<]+)</Application_Name>([\r\n]*)<Host_Name>(?<Host_Name>[^<]+)</Host_Name>

To be fully honest, if your data is a well-formed XML, I'd just go for

KV_MODE=xml

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/Latest/Admin/Propsconf

* dotall (?s) and multi-line (?m) modifiers are added in front of the regex.
  So internally, the regex becomes (?ms)<regex>.

 So if your regex doesn't match, there might be something not 100% OK with it. It almost checks out on regex101 but it warns about possible necessity of escaping the included slashes. So I'd start with verifying that.

Thank you so much for your quick response. However, no changes.

I was trying to use props and transforms conf files, but not working as well

My props transforms

[myprops]

REPORT-mytrans_fields=mytrans_fields

[mytrans_fields]

REGEX=\<(\w+[^\n\/\>]+)\/?\>([^\<\n][^\<]*)

FORMAT=$1::$2

DEST_KEY=_raw

 

Any recommendations?
