Hi,  
We have a Microsoft SQL Server Database running in Production. Can someone please illustrate on how to access Ms SQL Server Data to Elasticsearch? I found the River technique on Web but also saw that it was already deprecated. Any kind of suggestions, steps, links, resources will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

See this : [https://www.elastic.co/blog/logstash-jdbc-input-plugin](https://www.elastic.co/blog/logstash-jdbc-input-plugin)

The link above uses a PostgreSQL Database, but you can change the configuration for your case using SQL Server JDBC Driver.

Also if you need a more real time approach and have access to the application which is writing to the database, I'd encourage reading [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/)
