I am not sure I understand what you are looking for. Could you please elaborate/ The Elastic stack (formerly referred to as ELK) does not rely or use PostgreSQL nor MySQL.

The E in ELK stands for Elasticsearch and that is the datastore used. K is for Kibana, which is the visualisation tool for analysing data stored in Elasticsearch. L is for Logstash which is one way of getting data into Elasticsearch. Another way to get data into Elasticsearch is Beats, and Filebeat in particular.

I would recommend you start by reviewing some of the resources available on the Elastic website. This page might be a good starting point:
