Hi,  
I have trouble with a xml file.  
I have applied xml filter on that and after that i am getting 2 outputs.

1. message.GeneralInfo
2. message.ReportNode

I guess these are json outputs but json filter is not working on that.  
example of message.GeneralInfo:

`message.GeneralInfo: { "ToolVersion": ["0"], "ToolVersionStringLiteral": ["15.0.2"], "RunStartTime": ["2021-01-20 06:40:19"], "ToolName": ["Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing"], "ResultName": ["workspace1_4"], "Timezone": ["+05:30:00"] }`  
`  
I want output like this,

`ToolVersion = "0" ToolVersionStringLiteral = "15.0.2" RunStartTime = "2021-01-20 06:40:19" ToolName = "Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing" ResultName = "workspace1_4" Timezone = "+05:30:00"`  
all inside elements would become separeted field in my kibana  
Please help..  
Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply Badger.  
I mean, I have applied.  
`filter { json { source => "message" } }` This, But it shows  
`_jsonparsefailure` this error.

Shouldn't that be `filter { json { source => "message.GeneralInfo" } }`?

Yes, I have used that too. But it is also not working.
