Hi there!

I am facing a problem with jdbc\_static, because it does not write any staging file.

I have scheduled each load \*/8 hours, but it is querying the database many more times (near 1 per minute) because it does not create any staging file. Nor using the parameter "staging\_directory" pointing to a custom path, nor leaving it by default pointing to "/tmp/logstash/jdbc\_static/import\_data".

If I leave it unset, the logstash process creates a new folder "/tmp/logstash/jdbc\_static/import\_data", but it does not create any file inside it.

How can I fix this problem and force the staging file creation?

I am using Logstash 6.3.1.

Thanks,  
Best regards
