Hi,  
We are using the metric beats to load the the log file form server. Our requirement is to load the log data into the database ( i.e my sql , SQL Server ) . Once data is loaded to database, we will make some adjustment in data and then planning to sent it to elastic search. My question is  
is it possible to configure to metric beat to send the output to a database table instead of elastic search?
