Hello,


Can i have the sniffed traffic and the alert in xml file, insted  of
  snort.log.xxxx file ?

no... by default, snort.log.xxxxxxxxxx are /binary/ files... those binary files 
are pcap files that must be processed with tools like tcpdump or wireshark... 
unless you've specified that name as the output file for another output module 
in your snort.conf...

not to mention that xml files would be monstrously larger with no benefit gained...
