My Java-Agent captures XML in http Bodies and I want to analyze/search it. Can I use something like the logstash xml-filter on APM-Server events? Or do I have to go through logstash, or can I use a Ingest node for that? ---

Hi @gruselglatz. I believe you're on the right path with the [logstash xml filter plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-xml.html). I'm not aware of an ingest node processor with that capability - you may wish to follow up with a new feature request by creating an issue in the [elasticsearch github repo](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/new). ---
