Hi, I want to try to monitor SAP users with the elastic stack. So far the only way I've found to do this is crontab an rfc call (via perl script) to get the SAP - stad data into a log file, then transform said logfile to read it via logstash. Is there another, more efficient way to do this? The sap stad data are mostly metrics.

Thanks in advance
