I am able to import mysql data using logstash to elasticsearch but when i try connecting mariadb data to elasticsearch, it fails. As there is no jdbc driver for ubuntu mariadb to install and i have tried some other jdbc connector but it fails. can anyone please help to connect mariadb data with elasticsearch using logstash. Thank you ---

"It fails" is not a useful error description and will therefore never result in a useful response. What's wrong with the JDBC connector at [https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-java/](https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-java/)? ---
