Hi,
what precise value do you want to read from the XML? Is it the number in the <value> tag? Best regards

Using the XML REST sensor it would only be possible to read one value at the time. This means for every value you want to read you would have to add a separate sensor.
In your case I would recommend using a script to read the XML and pass it back to PRTG.
An example on how to read XML from a webpage can be found in this thread on Stackoverflow.
The output would have to be adjusted to match the one of the EXE/Script Advanced Sensor.
