Hi,

I have used logstash 1.5.4 before and I am parsing XML log files which was worked nicely. Currently I have upgraded my Logstash to 2.2.1 and I trying to parse the XML file which was not parsing the fields as before.

**My sample XML log file is as below**

> ```
> <err>
> <Variables>
> <item name="MS_PATH">
> <value string = "serverpath/path"/>
> </item>
> </Variables>
> </err>
> 
> ```

**My XPATH coding**  
`"/err/Variables/item[@name='MS_PATH']/value/@string","server_path"`

Is my XPATH sysntax is correct or need to change my syntax as per the new version. Thanks in advance

This looks correct but I'm no XPath expert. Is there anything interesting in the Logstash logs? What does the full xml filter looks like?
