How to configure request payload in a POST HTTP Method with REST API Modular Input?

I want to use REST API Modular Input to count alarms from my Spectrum monitoring tool.
Here's the query I'm using with Postman to query my Spectrum server:

POST /spectrum/restful/alarms/count HTTP/1.1 
Host: MyServer:8080
Content-Type: application/xml,application/json
Authorization: Basic YmNpdC1waWwdcnBpbG90ZTE=
cache-control: no-cache 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rs:alarms-count-request xmlns:rs="http://www.ca.com/spectrum/restful/schema/request"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ca.com/spectrum/restful/schema/request
../../../xsd/Request.xsd ">
<rs:alarm-filter name="def"/> 
</rs:alarms-count-request>

And the response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?>
<alarmcount-response
xmlns="http://www.ca.com/spectrum/restful/schema/response">
    <critical>3</critical>
    <major>2</major>
    <minor>4</minor> </alarmcount-response>

Now its configuration in the module REST_ta of Splunk.

I get an HTTP 500 error in splunkd.log
I think this comes from the Request Payload field but I do not see my error. Can someone help me?
