Hi! Is there any existing solution to periodically execute SQL queries, and put result to ElasticSearch? I'm pretty new to Go, and think that writing a new beat for that could be also a good start to dive in Go. But when I looked to the packetbeat source tree (as libbeat README suggests) my first thought was - "Is there any not such complex example how to use libbeat?" ---

There's the [Logstash JDBC input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html) which might do what you are looking for. Regarding libbeat, we now have a new Beat [developer guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/new-beat.html) which uses [Topbeat](https://github.com/elastic/topbeat) as an example. Topbeat is a lot simpler then Packetbeat, so we should update the readme. ---
