Hi, My use case is to transfer data from Elasticsearch to Postgres. While exploring, I could find logstash-ouput-jdbc plugin([GitHub - theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc: JDBC output for Logstash](https://github.com/theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc?tab=readme-ov-file)) but it does not seem to be officially supported and there can be vulnerabilities and risks. Can someone please point to the official link in the Elasticsearch guide where i can find this plugin. Also, I am not sure how logstash-plugin list --group output provides me logstash-ouput-jdbc as one of the plugins if it is not supported officially. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/d/2dc260d012f9c5ac62bac9c7fed6e5f26d3e0a3f.jpeg) ---

Hi @Jasmine_Blooms, Welcome back. This plugin is community created and not one that is actively maintained by Elastic [as per the support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#logstash_plugins). Can you explain a bit more about how often you are looking to sync Elasticsearch data to Postgres. An alternative could be to write a Python script similar to that in [this StackOverflow thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65507386/how-do-i-transfer-data-from-elastic-search-to-postgres) if you're not comfortable relying on this archived plugin. Hope that helps! ---

Hi, We are not looking to sync but transfer data completely as a one time activity. ---

Thanks for confirming @Jasmine_Blooms. In that case you can either use the above plugin for a one-off operation. Or alternatively write a script in Python to extract the data (potentially in batches for a high volume index) and insert into Postgres. Hope that helps! ---
