Hi -

I have a webservice URL (something like this "[http://149.212.194.252:8001/ths/ResourceMonitor](http://149.212.194.252:8001/ths/ResourceMonitor)")  
Where I'd get the output in the form of XML nodes, I need to read this data for every second and push it to ELK.  
Would someone please help me out. Thanks !

Maybe you could look at logstash http\_poller input. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http\_poller.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html).

Thanks @immavalls.

Its works with the below configuration:

input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
test1 =\> "[http://localhost:8000/ssh/Monitor](http://localhost:8000/ssh/Monitor)"  
}  
schedule =\> { cron =\> "\* \* \* \* \* UTC"}  
codec =\> "json"  
}  
filter {  
json {  
source =\> "message"  
}  
}  
output {  
stdout {  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}

The Output am receiving at the ELK as message is as below:

Could you please let me know how do I convert this to JSON and parse the values with mappings ?

Thanks for your help.

It looks like you actually get an XML in your message. Can you try with [logstash's xml plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-xml.html)?

```
filter {
  xml {
    source => "message"
  }
}
```
