Hello,  
i have a xml encoded logfile which is transferd with filebeat to logstash.  
in the logstash pipeline i use the xml-filter.  
the output looks like: ` Event.Client-IP-Address	{ "content": "10.x.x.x", "data_type": "3" }`  
Input line looks like: `<Event><Client-IP-Address data_type=3>"10.x.x.x<Client-IP-Address/><Event/>`  
And Filter: `filter { xml { source => "message" target => "Event" } } `  
But i want to fill the Field Event.Client-IP-Address with just the xml content field and ignore data\_type.

How can i do this?
