Hi All,
I have tried decoding XML file using decode\_xml processor in both heartbeat and filebeat and it worked as expected.
Now I would like to decode html file. I didn't find a way to do that.
Could you please suggest a method?
Thanks

What's the purpose of decoding an HTML file using a beat ?
Is it a search use case or anything else very specific ?

There is a date value which I need to get from that html response. Basically this html response is coming from a http endpoint.
For example as below:
Date:
\<..span Id="date"\>02/06/2011\<../span\>

May be try to use dissect processor at the edge level
> **[Dissect strings | Filebeat Reference \[8.2\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/dissect.html)**
Or the grok processor at the ingest node level
> **[Grok processor | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.2\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/grok-processor.html)**
