Hi,

I have to read a log file using File Beat, apply few filters and then save this filtered data to Elastic Search database using PUT and POST queries.

1. I could read log file, get the data in elastic search.
2. I could save and query dummy data to and from elastic search database.

I am unable to create a link between the 2 processes. I have data in elastic search. How does it get filtered based on keywords and how can I save that data into the database.

Please help.

Regards  
Neha jain

@Nehajain, If i am understanding correctly your question you want to store your data in elasticsearch and then want to query it.

If this is the case then you can use Filbeat-\>elasticsearch-\>kibana or Filebeat-\>logstash-\>elasticserach-\>kibana architecture.

Thanks.
