following is my props.conf setting

 [tasks]
 SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
 LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)(?=\s*\<todo-item\>)
 DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
 KV_MODE =xml

Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Where is the search head's props file located. Also is it necessary to mention seperately KV_MODE in a standalone splunk instance?

Try this for props.conf on your Indexer/Heavy Forwarder.

 [tasks]
 SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
 LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)(?=\s*\<todo\-item\>)
 DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT

Search head props.conf

 [tasks]
 KV_MODE =xml
