Can anyone advise if there is a nice way to display XML message in either a search or a dashboard, ideally something with nice colour coded sections would be great

Or alternatively is it possible to using a .py script to pretty printing

I have built a prototype of an XML pretty printing module.

You can get the bits from GitHub

It includes a sample view on internal data, and right now only works on an explicit field name of xml
