RESTful sensor, XML and Monit

Configuration
1

I’m using what I think is a new feature of the RESTful sensor to pick up an XML feed from Monit (which saves feeding it through Node-Red!).

However, I don’t really understand the different templates etc to be able to pick up the data I want cleanly.

configuralion.yaml

- platform: rest
  name: Monit Hassio
  resource: http://192.168.7.30:2812/_status?format=xml
  json_attributes_path: "$.monit"
  value_template: 'OK'
  json_attributes:
    - "platform"
    - "server"
    - "service"

This collects the XML into a single sensor, but I’d like to break it up and cannot find a combination of configuration to do that :frowning_face:

For example, how could I simply pull out a sensor that has the % of memory used and the CPU Load?

This is what the state attributes look like from the above configuration;

    swap:

friendly_name: Monit Hassio

This is the JSON the suggested debugger produces (which isn’t actually valid JSON).
