Im trying to pull information from an RSS feed. I am running into 2 problems.

1. The first is I am getting duplicates entries every time the Logstash interval is hit. What is the best way to handle this?

2. The second is I am not sure the best way to get certain data from each feed entry as I do not want all of the information.

I have included a sample entry from the feed below:
