# an actual datastructure.

  # Config for xml to hash is:
  #
  #   source => dest
  #
  # XML in the value of the source field will be expanded into a
  # datastructure in the "dest" field. Note: if the "dest" field
  # already exists, it will be overridden.
  config /[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/, :validate => :string

  # xpath will additionally select string values (.to_s on whatever is selected)
  # from parsed XML (using each source field defined using the method above)
  # and place those values in the destination fields. Configuration:
  #
  # xpath => [ "xpath-syntax", "destination-field" ]
  #
  # Values returned by XPath parsring from xpath-synatx will be put in the 
  # destination field. Multiple values returned will be pushed onto the
  # destination field as an array. As such, multiple matches across
  # multiple source fields will produce duplicate entries in the field
  #
  # More on xpath: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/
  # 
  # The xpath functions are particularly powerful:

• add xml.rb file to logstash/lib/logstash/filters
• add to Gemfile

gem "xml-simple"

• bundle install --no-deployment
• make jar

can anyone tell me that can i add jtl files for xml type input in logstash?
