It would be helpful to know what you've tried already and what those results were, but these settings may help.

TIME_PREFIX = TimeCreated SystemTime="
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%7N%Z
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 30
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\<a2ETraceEvent
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
---
If this reply helps you, Karma would be appreciated.

Thank you so much. Your codes are working as expected. My mistake was assigning TIME_FORMAT and  LINE_BREAKER parameters.  Thank you again, appreciated!
