   Based on the example log content, Oracle Log Analytics automatically identifies the list of XML elements that represent the log records.

   Based on the selection of the XML path, the fields are picked and displayed in the Fields tab.

4. In the Fields tab, select the field name for each entry of the XML path.

5. After the fields are selected, go to Parser Test tab to view the match status.
