I want to have the timestamp based on the BroadcastData creationDate, and to extract all the XML attributes. How can I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.
Hi Leonheart78,
If you want to do it as part of an inline search then the "spath" command will extract the xml. Refer to this answer http://answers.splunk.com/answers/184469/how-to-extract-unique-values-from-xml-data.html
Splunk can be configured to automatically extract the XML fields also with KV_MODE=xml on the source/sourcetype in props.conf (configure at forwarder end or indexer end). Refer to http://answers.splunk.com/answers/129820/extract-xml-field.html
Use either the rex command, or ideally set up a field extraction, to pull the creation time out of Broadcast namespace, e.g.
... | rex field=_raw "creationDate=\"(?<bc_creationDate>[^\"]+)
