XML match IDs in different elements

Hi all,

I want to insert chats into Elasticsearch and have a problem in converting the chat XML transcript to the proper JSON using logstash.

This is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> This is just a text from A This is a text from B This is a text from C This is a reply from A This is another text from C

This is my basic starting Logstash config to test with:
input { stdin {
}
}

    filter {

    	xml {
    		source => "message"
    		target => "doc"
    		
    		store_xml => true
    		force_array => false
    		remove_namespaces =>true   	

    	
    	}
    	
    	mutate
    	{
    		remove_field => [ "message","host" ]
    	}
    }


    output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }

This is the output of the JSON:

{
    "@timestamp" => 2018-11-02T15:31:14.901Z,
      "@version" => "1",
           "doc" => {
         "message" => [
            [0] {
                 "userId" => "123",
                "msgText" => "This is just a text from A"
            },
            [1] {
                 "userId" => "456",
                "msgText" => "This is a text from B"
            },
            [2] {
                 "userId" => "789",
                "msgText" => "This is a text from C"
            },
            [3] {
                 "userId" => "123",
                "msgText" => "This is a reply from A"
            },
            [4] {
                 "userId" => "789",
                "msgText" => "This is another text from C"
            }
        ],
        "newParty" => [
            [0] {
                "userInfo" => {
                    "userNick" => "A",
                    "userType" => "CLIENT"
                },
                  "userId" => "123"
            },
            [1] {
                "userInfo" => {
                    "userNick" => "B",
                    "userType" => "AGENT"
                },
                  "userId" => "456"
            },
            [2] {
                "userInfo" => {
                    "userNick" => "C",
                    "userType" => "AGENT"
                },
                  "userId" => "789"
            }
        ]
    }
}

What I want to achieve is, that in the message fields there isn't the userID, but the userNickName being stored to ElasticSearch.

How could I match those fields together?

Thanks in advance.

Christian
