multiline.pattern: "^[[:space:]]"  
multiline.negate: true  
multiline.match: after  
multiline.flush\_pattern: '^[[:space:]]'

Logstash  
filter {  
xml {  
store\_xml =\> false  
source =\> "message"  
xpath =\>  
[  
"/mv/moid/text()", "name",  
"/mv/r/text()", "r-value"  
]  
}  
}

If you use Filebeat you can add [fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-input-log.html#filebeat-input-log-fields) there
