Hi

I need to get some field in my xml file but i don't know how to get it.

Here my xml

```auto
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster>
  <cs_list>
    <cs>
      <id>1027</id>
      <status>active</status>
      <host_info>
        <host>10.0.0.1</host>
        <host_id>123</host_id>
        <location>0.0.0</location>
      </host_info>
    </cs>
    <cs>
      <id>1028</id>
      <status>active</status>
      <host_info>
        <host>10.0.0.1</host>
        <host_id>123</host_id>
        <location>0.0.0</location>
      </host_info>
    </cs>
  </cs_list>
</cluster>

```

I want to get

```auto
  [cs][id], [cs][id][status], [cs][id][location]

```

Thanks

Use an xml filter. There are many examples in this forum of how to configure it, such as [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/help-logstash-xml-parsing-to-xpath/241051/2) one.
