| spath
| fields "MessageViewer.MessageBody" 
| eval _raw= 'MessageViewer.MessageBody'
| fields - "MessageViewer.MessageBody" 
| spath

This is a simple approach for example. You can read about the spath command and apply it to specific input and extract the fields you are interested in.

However, if you are only interested in JSON data, you can also think about indexing only JSON data within XML or may be re routing JSON Data using props.conf and transforms.conf.
