Reading a xml file when file is split in to two

We are having a issue. Sometimes our input XML file is splint in to two.

In the above image you can see, both are same files but last 6 lines are split in to another.

So when we read the file using 'spath' we are getting null value.

Example file in correct format :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><message>
<software-version>4.1.1810-65</software-version>
<customer-job-id>722739-151801-NBS-CMC400-001-LT_Slit-Merge-NBS-001</customer-job-id>

Try adjusting the  time_before_close and  multiline_event_extra_waittime settings in inputs.conf for that file.
