I have an XML that I am trying to strip some data out so it can be pre-processed by software on another machine. XML file is being generated on a windows logging to an XML file. I am at bit of a lost I have tried too many things to list here. What I am trying to do is remove our domain name and our domain email address before it is sent to the machine to be pre-processed. I only want the username. Any records that have host\domain.com don’t need to be sent and I figured out how to drop that data. (number 4). If it helps I am running nxlog-ce-3.0.2284.
Here is an example of event: (Removed bunch of xml fields for clarity of this post) 1: <Event><Timestamp data_type="4">05/25/2022 12:45:43.806</Timestamp><Userid data_type="1">DOMAIN\username</Userid><IP-Address data_type="3">x.x.x.x</IP-Address><Endtimestamp data_type="5">05/25/2022 12:46:43.806</Endtimestamp> 2: <Event><Timestamp data_type="4">05/25/2022 12:45:43.806</Timestamp><Userid data_type="1">username</Userid><IP-Address data_type="3">x.x.x.x</IP-Address><Endtimestamp data_type="5">05/25/2022 12:46:43.806</Endtimestamp> 3: <Event><Timestamp data_type="4">05/25/2022 12:45:43.806</Timestamp><Userid data_type="1">username@domain.com</Userid><IP-Address data_type="3">x.x.x.x</IP-Address><Endtimestamp data_type="5">05/25/2022 12:46:43.806</Endtimestamp> 4: <Event><Timestamp data_type="4">05/25/2022 12:45:43.806</Timestamp><Userid data_type="1">host\domain.com</Userid><IP-Address data_type="3">x.x.x.x</IP-Address><Endtimestamp data_type="5">05/25/2022 12:46:43.806</Endtimestamp>
