Hello, community!  
Question...I am looking for a way to ingest VMWare stats into Elasticsearch. Is there a way to do that? would it be helpful if such feature existed?

There is no plugin that I know of,

the best I can think is to write a script and use the Logstash Exec module to run it and polll the data.

You could also parse the VSphere datbase with logstash jdbc module and pull it directly if you know where to look.

thats all I can think of.
