I have a number of documents that are sent to RabbitMQ, I would like these to be sent to Elasticsearch, what is the best way to do this, i have seen a number of articles mention 'river' but believe this to be depreciated.
I am assuming i will need to use Logstash in some way, does beats come into it anywhere?
Are there any prebuilt examples anywhere i can get something basic working.
Thanks

I think Logstash is your best option; use a rabbitmq input and an elasticsearch output, possibly with a few filters for processing the message payload. I'm not aware of any Beats-based program that does this.
