Dear All,
Good morning
I am trying to configure ES Kibana to read the data from MS-SQL to the Kibana dashboard, on the option of "adding data", we can see the option of "Microsoft SQL Server Metrics " , this option gives MSSQL server parameter than the Database contents.
What we should we do for getting Database contents on Kibana
Advice requested
thanks
Joseph John

That's most likely [MSSQL module | Metricbeat Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-mssql.html)
You will want [Jdbc input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html)
