That's what I'd do as well.

Thank you for your answer.  
So, is it OK to send it to flowentD from Spring Boot app using UDP?  
I don't know which way is common.

I'm not a fluentd user.

I shared most of my thoughts there: [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/)

Basically, I'd recommend modifying the application layer if possible and send data to elasticsearch in the same "transaction" as you are sending your data to the database.
