Hi  
need to read data from influxdb from elasticsearch and store on an index.

I have two choice 1-telegraf 2-logstash

need "input plugin for influx" and "output plugin for elastic".

Any idea?  
Thanks

I would recommend feeding both systems in parallel rather than read from InfluxDB.

When you collect the data, send it directly to both systems. This may mean that you need to add a new collection agent, e.g. Metricbeat, but would simplify the process and reduce delay.

@Christian_Dahlqvist tha challenge is data coming from different sources and each source has it's own challenge to send metrics to new destinations.
