Can I extract business data retroactively without redeploying flows?

Yes—this is a unique Nodinite advantage over User Trace. If you logged full payloads via IBM Monitoring Profiles but forgot to extract a business identifier (e.g., Invoice Number from XML payload), you can add a [Search Field Expression][] to the [Message Types][] configuration 18 months later. Click "Reindex" and Nodinite extracts Invoice Number from all existing stored payloads in minutes. Zero ESQL code changes. Zero message flow redeployment.

Example: Healthcare logged HL7 messages for 12 months. Compliance requests per-Facility reporting. Add Search Field XPath for MSH-4 (Facility ID) → Reindex 2.9M events in 11 minutes → now searchable by Facility.
