How to use xmlkv in field extraction to identify values in XML?

3618475

I have a huge XML file with many tiers. I use this command to limit the number of events for the XML data that I want to extract, then I use xmlkv to extract the XML fields. The fields that I need are extracted but not all of the data is pulled.

This is the command:

index=83261 source="service.log" sourcetype="dispatchapp" "RULE" "createMessage MsgSource" | xmlkv

This is a partial example of the XML file:

PURCHASEDLINEHAUL DISPATCH    2020-05-21T17:22:55.000Z 
  <ns2:numberCode>923</ns2:numberCode>
  <ns2:numberType>2</ns2:numberType>    </origin>    <destination>
  <ns2:numberCode>72</ns2:numberCode>
  <ns2:numberType>2</ns2:numberType>    </destination>
<purchasedCost>
  <purchasedCostTripSegment>
     <purchCostReference>1587040</purchCostReference>
     <carrier>FXTR</carrier>
     <vendorType>DRAY</vendorType>
     <carrierTrailerType>PZ1</carrierTrailerType>
     <origin>
        <ns2:numberCode>923</ns2:numberCode>  

     </origin>
     <destination>
        <ns2:numberCode>4022</ns2:numberCode> 

     </destination>      
  </purchasedCostTripSegment>
  <purchasedCostTripSegment>
     <purchCostReference>1587040</purchCostReference>
     <carrier>BNSF</carrier>
     <vendorType>RAIL</vendorType>
     <carrierTrailerType>PZ1</carrierTrailerType>
     <origin>
        <ns2:numberCode>4022</ns2:numberCode> 

     </origin>
     <destination>
        <ns2:numberCode>4040</ns2:numberCode> 

     </destination>
  </purchasedCostTripSegment>
  <purchasedCostTripSegment>
     <purchCostReference>1587040</purchCostReference>
     <carrier>NS</carrier>
     <vendorType>RAIL</vendorType>
     <carrierTrailerType>PZ1</carrierTrailerType>
     <origin>
        <ns2:numberCode>4061</ns2:numberCode>
     </origin>
     <destination>
        <ns2:numberCode>4040</ns2:numberCode>
     </destination>     
  </purchasedCostTripSegment>    </purchasedCost>

This image shows that the ns:numberCode is extracted buy only 3 but there are 5 instances in the view above. But the entire xml there are many more.

How can I get the rest of the instances in the field extraction, and how can I identify the path where these values are coming from in the XML?

You have to think about the form of the output.
