If you have an event that looks like

```
<records><record><details><furtherinformation>Foo</furtherinformation></details></record></records>

```

You can use an [xml](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-xml.html) filter to parse it. For example

```
    xml {
        source => "message"
        store_xml => false
        xpath => { "/records/record/details/furtherinformation/text()" => "FurtherInformation" }
        remove_field => ["message"]
    }

```

will get you

```
"FurtherInformation" => [
    [0] "Foo"
]
```
