as this is possible in CSV file that we can add live data to it, is it possible for databse as well? for example while running a csv file on logstash we add rows to it i9t get reflected on KIBANA but this is not possible in database through JDBC input plugin for logstash as i update rows it get reflected to KIBANA but we have run command again and again each time we add a row . is there a way i can feed live data to it???? because i am getting static result. Reply soon ---

I'm not sure I follow. Are you setting the `schedule` parameter on the logstash jdbc plugin so the plugin actually polls your database on a regular basis for new data? ---

I think he wonders if it's possible for Logstash to update the indata in real-time from a CSV file as soon as he adds a row in it. ---
