It would be better to explain what were the problems you had when using filebeat / logstash for example. About Spring Data, that's a too vague question and I have no idea what to answer. You can also look at FSCrawler which supports xml files.

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons. Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text. If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible. Please update your post. Also tell what is the problem with this? What went wrong, error logs... ---

As I wrote: > Also tell what is the problem with this? What went wrong, error logs... That could help to give you an answer. Also I recommend using the logstash stdout plugin to print how logstash is parsing your data. ---
