Feed HTTP response body to Elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi there

Is it planned to support sending the http response body to Elasticsearch if it is in JSON format?

Thanks
Oli

Seems not to be on the agenda. Check out open heartbeat issues and enhancement requests: https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AHeartbeat

Purpose of heartbeat is to check a service is available. What's you use-case in reporting the body response?

At the moment I just wanted to feed the logstash management stats into elasticsearch because we run 2.3 of ES at the moment.

I know there is the http module of metricbeat at some stage. In general, there is some overlap with watcher and what you can do in heartbeat. IMHO, watcher is much more powerfull for the conditions and therefore I just wanted to feed the response into ES. Especially you can manage the conditions over REST whereas in heartbeat, you must configure it in a local configuration file.

Have you considered the logstash http_poller module?
