Using logstash, you can load data from sql server into elasticsearch. But i am not sure whether we can import data from file into sql server using logstash. Hope someone helps you, if it is possible. Regards ---

There is a community output plugin for pushing data to SQL Server or any-other JDBC enabled source. > **[theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc](https://github.com/theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc)** > > JDBC output for Logstash. Contribute to theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc development by creating an account on GitHub. theangryangle has done a fantastic job with this and we leverage it for dual feeding data from kafka into ES and SQL Server. ---
