Hi @Gurram_Vinay,

I think you will find more luck in the beats, [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats), or logstash, [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash), forums for that. You may find more feedback there on how to index this type of data.
