I found some older posts saying you planned on supporting MSSQL, but the last update I could find was around October. Is there an ETA yet? Unfortunately I can't get my company to move off MSSQL, which is funny because all our other servers are Linux. ---

We don't have any plans yet to implement MSSQL in the very near future. There is a new protocol request already in [GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/149), so you can subscribe to the thread to be notified when there is a change. If you would like to take the challenge and implement the parser for MSSQL, we are more than happy to help you. ---
