Hi

I have a XML in below format:

> ```
> <OrderEvent actionCode = "5">
> <OrderNumber>ORD12345</OrderNumber>
> <VendorNumber>V11111</VendorNumber>
> </OrderEvent>
> 
> ```

Filebeat picks up this xml and sends to logstash.

In logstash, I have below code for XML filter plugin.

> ```
> xml {
> source => "message"
> store_xml => true
> namespaces => {
> "xsl" => "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
> "xhtml" => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
> }
> }
> 
> ```

When I view the results on Kibana, I am not getting the results properly. Although it is picking up the XML. But the values which I require are different.

Values displayed on Kibana are:

- 

```
 <OrderEvent actionCode = "5">

```

- 

```
  <OrderNumber>ORD12345</OrderNumber>

```

- 

```
 <VendorNumber>V11111</VendorNumber>

```

But values which I want to get is:

> Field Name: actionCode and value = 5  
> Field Name: OrderNumber and value = ORD12345  
> Field Name: VendorNumber and value = V11111

Can anyone please help.

Thanks

On the Filebeat side you need to use a multiline configuration to join all lines of the file into a single event. Examples of how this can be done has been posted in the past.
