Windows log in XML format - how to convert numbers to text description

Hello,

I would like to ask about win log in XML format:

Using Splunk, we collect Windows logs in XML format, because before indexing on Splunk, we modify and reduce them on Cribl - according to this document: Reducing Windows XML Events 

It works fine, but now I would like to do one thing - convert values that are expressed in XML using numeric code to expressions in text form, as in the standard Windows log format. For example:

In XML is:

<Task>12544</Task>

and corresponding value in text format of log is:

TaskCategory=Logon

So I tried to find conversion tables between text and XML format and  for elements

<Opcode>
<Keywords>
<Level>

I found some. But I cannot find any for element

<Task>

Do you know anyone about some? (Or for other XML elements as well)? If so, you can share it with me? It will be really appreciated.

Best regards

Lukas Mecir
