Hi David,
The short answer is yes, DashBoard can parse XML. However, this is the Switcher community page. I recommend posting your query at the Enterprise Control community page, where you will get relevant guidance and support from our DashBoard specialists.

Subject: Dashboard Parse external xml and possible actions
Just trying to enumerate options here....
Can Dashboard parse xml data from external sources and display the values or act on the values for what I'm calling a HUD display?
There may be a number of outside devices that my users need to see the status in front of them. I can easily create the XML files (or whatever is needed) to herd that data to a single location, what I need on Dashboard is a way to have indicators show up when the xml value shows true. Or in some instances the actual value of the XML tag contents.
Any assistance is appreciated.
