Elasticsearch suitability

Apologies if the below is a naive/dumb query, I am new to Elasticsearch request to excuse. I want to know if I can use Elasticsearch for the below requirement.

I have an application which runs 100s of jobs/tasks on a daily basis. I am looking for an analytics solution that can check the application and based on past data determine that a particular job is taking more than expected time for execution and send out an alert.

The application's DB(MS-SQL) has the required data for tapping real-time info/status of the tasks.

If you can export the data from your database, eg using the JDBC connector in Logstash, then you can totally use Elasticsearch and Watcher for this sort of thing!

Thank you Mark.
