Hi,

I am looking forward to dump the output of LOGSTASH to cassandra instead of elastic search. The idea is to have cassandra as a single source of truth when it coms to ingesting data from multiple sources and use cassandra to build analytics engine.

I have not been able to find the output plugin for cassandra.

Can anyone confirm how cassandra can be integrated with LOGSTASH?

Thanks.  
Saurabh

Why?  
ES has all the analysis APIs built into it already, which saves you building it all from scratch, and you can easily get started doing said analysis with Kibana.

With ES can I keep track of old data which was indexed earlier and do analysis on historic data too?

With every run of logstash output, i assume the index is refreshed with latest processed file.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
