Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I got some Fields in MySQL that holds JSON Encoded Strings.

I want them in Elastic also to get stored as Object, but they are Stored as Stings.

When i post them normally to the API everything looks good. But i have to insert Millions of Lines, so i have to use that JDBC Thing.

How to do it?

Scripting? Reindexing? Moving the Field to _source, ???

Thanks in advance.

Use a jdbc input to pull rows from the database into Logstash, then use a json filter to deserialize the JSON in one of the columns.

Thank you. In the meantime i solved it with a MySQL Driver for JDBC and fetch the Data via Logstash:

input {
        jdbc {
                jdbc_driver_library => "/home/logstash/mysql-connector-java-5.1.42/mysql-connector-java-5.1.42-bin.jar"
                jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
                jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://***.***.***.***/c1_db_etltest"
                jdbc_user => "*****"
                jdbc_password => "*****"
                statement => "SELECT CONCAT(field_121,'-',field_99) as id, field_98 as data_orig from _datasource_24"

        }
}

filter {
        mutate {
                gsub => ["data_orig","0000-00-00","1970-01-01"]
        }

        json {
                source => "data_orig"
                target => "data"
        }
}

output {
        stdout {codec => json_lines}
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
                index => "etl"
                document_type => "account"
                document_id => "%{id}"
        }
}

One of the original Datasets (just a Demo) it fetches is:

{"SEQUENCE":"","EXPORT":{"EPO1OK":"X","EPO1MESSAGE":[{"TYPE":"","ID":"","NUMBER":0,"MESSAGE":"","LOG_NO":"","LOG_MSG_NO":0,"MESSAGE_V1":"","MESSAGE_V2":"","MESSAGE_V3":"","MESSAGE_V4":"","PARAMETER":"","ROW":0,"FIELD":"","SYSTEM":""}],"EPO1EXP":{"KOKRS":"1000","BELNR":"0200169583","GJAHR":2017,"VERSN":"000","VRGNG":"C","TIMESTMP":8628216750000,"PERAB":"005","PERBI":5,"BLDAT":"2017-05-05","BUDAT":"2017-05-05","CPUDT":"2017-05-05","USNAM":"ZEININGERC","REFBT":"R","REFBN":"5000000104","REFBK":"1000","REFGJ":2017,"BLART":"WL","WSDAT":"2017-05-05","KURST":"M","KWAER":"EUR","CTYP1":"30","CTYP2":"20","CTYP3":"10","CTYP4":"","AWTYP":"MKPF","AWORG":"2017","LOGSYSTEM":"","CPUTM":"10:41:15","ITEM":[{"BUZEI":1,"PERIO":5,"WTGBTR":102.91,"WOGBTR":102.91,"WKGBTR":102.91,"WKFBTR":0,"PAGBTR":0,"PAFBTR":0,"MEGBTR":1,"MEFBTR":0,"MBGBTR":1,"LEDNR":"00","OBJNR":"KS10000000004140","KOSTL":"0000004140","KOSTL_KTEXT":"Hausmeisterrei","GJAHR":2017,"WRTTP":4,"VERSN":"000","KSTAR":"0000400010","KSTAR_KTEXT":"Verbr.

My final Question is, if datas are stored optimally. As Objects. Kibana gives this, JSON formatted:

  "_index": "etl",
  "_type": "coposting",
  "_id": "1000-0200169583",

The _source.data_orig is not needed, i don't know how i would strip this Field out with my Filter.

Maybe it could be stored directly in _source. and not in _source.data.**

The Table View in Kibana shows:

data.CALLSTATUS.TRANSACTIONID	   	
t data.CALLSTATUS.TYPE	   	
t data.EXPORT.EPO1EXP.AWORG	   	2017
t data.EXPORT.EPO1EXP.AWTYP	   	MKPF
t data.EXPORT.EPO1EXP.BELNR	   	0200169583

-> Type = STRING. When i posted that Data via the API. Shouldn't the Type be Object/Nested...?
