I'm trying to define a custom sourcetype. I have one file with multiple XML files.

For example MyFile.xml:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' standalone = 'yes'?><DATA>
   <Time>2016-02-12T00:00:00.211Z</Time>
   <Item>
      <ID>1545454</ID>
      <VAR1>897654564dDJUHFKHJHEU</VAR1>
   </Item>
   <Check>OK</Check>
</DATA>
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' standalone = 'yes'?><DATA>
   <Time>2016-02-12T00:00:00.211Z</Time>
   <Item>
      <ID>456849836848</ID>
      <VAR5>78964DFDFli_DFDFD_DFDF</VAR5>
   </Item>
   <Check>FAILD</Check>
</DATA>
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?><LOG>

My props.conf

[mysourcetype]
 DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
 KV_MODE = xml
 LINE_BREAKER = (<?xml)
 NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
 SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
 TRUNCATE = 0
 pulldown_type = 1

How can I set the LINE_BREAKER by "<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' standalone = 'yes'?>"
Is there a way te set the DATETIME to or with regex?
What did I do wrong?

Give this a try (props.conf on Indexer/Heavy forwarder)

[yoursourcetype]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
LINE_BREAKER=(\<\?xml[^\?]+\?\>)
TIME_PREFIX=Time\s*\>
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%N
