Is it possible to have many sqlite connection with logstash in the same configuration using JDBC input ?  
However, databases contains the same tables structures .

Yes, you can have multiple jdbc inputs in your configuration.

Thank you for your answer .  
In reality, I have a list of servers each one send there logs as SQLite database (with the same arborasonce and data rigging) to directory X and I would like to treat this logs using ELK.  
Example server1 has a server1.db under the X / var / db / server1.db tree  
and server2 save its logs under X / var / db / server2.db  
i couldn't find a solution with glob patterns and one jdbc input for an unknown servers number.  
Any help would be appreciated.

You need multiple jdbc inputs.

How it could be possible with unknown data base number?

Well, you could e.g. generate your configuration file and perform the wildcard expansion outside of Logstash.
