Hi,

We are using Java 1.4 and we would like to write data to ELK stack. Can you please suggest  
the API to push data in such a setup?

Regards

I do not think any clients would support such an ancient version of Java, but you should be able to write data using the [bulk API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/docs-bulk.html) over HTTP.

Out of curiosity : why do you have to use a so old version of the JVM eventhough you are using a much more recent one for elasticsearch?

Its just the way the setup is , its a legacy server.

Elasticsearch version is 1.6

But bulk API also would need a minimum of 1.5 version?
