Elastic Stack / Logstash

  • Hello All,

    Anybody familiar with Elastic Stack / Logstash, specifically used to get data content of databases into 'Elastic Stack' ?

    All I can find at the moment (but search continues) is that 'performance/monitor' logs can be accessed and analysed.

    Should I continu searching or is my search (Logstash on database content) in vain ?

  • Is this the type of thing you're looking for?

  • Thanks this link does help quite a lot.

    Especially with 'realising' that if there is not update timestamp of any kind this will not be possible. And second even with an update timestamp, this will result in 'expensive' queries even if there is an (expensive) index on the update timestamp.

    First step would probably be a CDC 'connection', then Logstash.

    Thanks for your link,

    Ben

  • You are welcome and good luck.

    Take notes, and we'd love to see an article if you get this working. Would help others.
