@Mario_Castro so far I have been unable to have SQL Server to write the transaction logs in plain texts so Filebeat can red them and get the data I need. If you can, pleas help me to make this config or to config Filebeat to (somehow) get this data from SQL Server.

I am also open to try other beats as well. My goal is the same. I am giving a try to the `sql` module from Metricbeat, but got stuck with the config. Here is the [thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ms-sql-monitoring-with-metricbeat/252733). If this is something you can help me with, I will appreciate your support.

Thank you
