Hi,

Iam new to Logstash. My project requires to configure logstash with jdbc input plugin.Below is the conf file I had used.

input {  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "lib\jars\mongodb\_unityjdbc\_full.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "Java::mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver"  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:mongo://testdb:27017/dbtest? ssl=true&authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1"  
jdbc\_user =\> "test"  
jdbc\_password =\> "Asdf~123"  
jdbc\_validate\_connection =\> true  
statement =\> "Select userId as id,firstName as firstname, lastName as lastname From IntUser"  
}  
}

I have my SSL CA and key file . How do I configure my conf file to set the those cert information ?

Any help or guidance on this would be of great help.

Thanks.

Hi Mullan,

Take a look at the following documentation: [https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/connect.html](https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/connect.html).

In short - the connection string should include the “ssl=true” parameter.

Hope that helps 🙂

Hi Ramicoh,

Thank you for the reply.  
My connection string already has ssl =true. I wanted to include the cert information because of two way authentication.

I had done a workaround to include them as jvm options.

jvm.options file i had included the following  
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore="\xxxxx.jks"  
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=JKS  
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword="xxx"

Hope this helps someone.
