I have a Solarwinds setup done. I want to extract data from Solarwinds and then push it to Elastic-Search so that I can make a dashboard for it in Kibana. How should I go about it? Should I look into calling the REST Api's by SolarWinds and extract the data to move forward? ---

Welcome! 😃 If solarwinds has an API, then yes you can pull that with one of the Beats or Logstash into Elasticsearch. ---

But it has 100's of tables and how should I know which table to pull for the monitoring? ---

No idea sorry, I don't know the inner working of the product. What do their docs say? ---
