Is it possible to pull data from an XML payload using request attributes?

We have some MQ queues which carry xml payloads containing order details....we want to pull certain data from these xml payloads. Is this concept possible through the use of Request Attributes?

I don't believe this is possible, link to a similar discussion: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Open-Q-A/How-to-get-request-parameters-on-JSON-request/m-p/94091

If I understand this correctly, Dynatrace is not actually capturing/analyzing request payloads due to the significant performance impact that would require.

The alternative approach is to instrument the java/method that sets these parameters (where you can set a request attribute).
