Hey All,  
Sorry if this has been asked befower, I don´t know how to search for it.  
But basically I want to match events based on a value in between two tags:

> ```
> response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
> <TransactionResponse>
> <Result>
> <ResponseCode>1030</ResponseCode>
> <ResponseMessage>Invalid token</ResponseMessage>
> <ResponseTimestamp>15082018170001</ResponseTimestamp>
> <MerchantID>AUP006DM006</MerchantID>
> 
> ```

I need to be able to target any events that contains:

> `<ResponseCode>1030</ResponseCode>`

With any number except from 1000.

Any ideas?

Best way would be to parse the data in the document into separate fields before indexing them into Elasticsearch.

I know, but at them moment I don´t have the time to mess with the grok filter and all the testing that requires.  
We handle a high volume incoming data, and a change in performance could be catastrophic.  
Is there a way to do it in kibana for now?

I can’t think of any way right now.
