Hi Team,

I'm using the Logstash Salesforce input plugin on a Windows server to fetch Salesforce application data. When I run it from the command line, the pipeline shuts down after fetching data once.

Is there a way to schedule the pipeline to run at a specific interval, like once a day? I have other pipelines running as a service in the background, and when I try to run the Salesforce pipeline from the command line, I get an error saying that an instance of Salesforce is already running.

Is there a way to run both the Salesforce pipeline and other pipelines as services on Windows?

Thank you in advance

The input plugin does not support scheduling. There is [an issue](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-salesforce/issues/19) from 2019 requesting it be added as a feature, and a couple of PRs hanging off that, but at present nobody maintains the plugin repo, so it is not clear if such a PR will get merged and released.

If you are interested in supporting this yourself then see [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-input-salesforce-still-alive-process-for-abandoned-plugin-projects/361928), and read through [issue 19](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-salesforce/issues/19) on github. Someone volunteered a few months ago to support it and they appear to be struggling to get access.
