I am attempting to ingest an XML file but am getting stuck can someone please help. The data will ingest if I remove "BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE =\<item\>"  but with a new event per item.

 

this is the XML and code I have tried

 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DocumentElement>
  <item>
    <hierarchy>ASA</hierarchy>

When using BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE, set SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true.

[snow:all:devices]
KV_MODE=xml
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE =\<item>
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
DATETIME_CONFIG = NONE
