Hi All,

I'm new to ELK. I've installed Elasticsearch and Kibana. It's running fine. I want to monitor MSSQL database using Elastichsearch. Please help me understand how this can be achieved.

- Can this be done using filebeat module?

Thanks & Regards,  
Mith

Unfortunately, there is no MSSQL module in Filebeat.

But you can submit an enhancement request on Github: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md)

Thanks Noemi for you response. At this point of time, I cannot submit for an enhancement request and wait on that.  
Is it possible to configure the Filebeat to monitor MSSQL database without a module being available.

You can configure the `log` input to forward log messages of the DB server: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html)  
In 7.0 a new MSSQL metricset is coming to Metricbeat: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.0/metricbeat-module-mssql.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.0/metricbeat-module-mssql.html)
