Hi @Indeed2000, Are you looking for a one-off upload or a regular sync? I've not used QuestDB myself, and with a quick scan can't see a QuestDB specific Logstash plugin. But looking through the documentation you could either: 1. Export data from Elasticsearch to CSV via the [Logstash CSV output plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-csv.html) and then upload with the [QuestDB HTTP API](https://questdb.io/docs/develop/insert-data/#http-rest-api) accessible on port `9000`. 2. Using a community plugin or [write your own](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/output-new-plugin.html). I see that [this one](https://github.com/theangryangel/logstash-output-jdbc) was archived in 2019 so I would use it reluctantly as it's not been tested with later versions of Logstash. Alternatively, if you are looking for an approach without Logstash, you could use the [QuestDB client](https://questdb.io/docs/reference/clients/overview/) and [Elasticsearch client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) in a compatible language such as Python or JavaScript depending on your expertise. Hope that helps! ---

> [@Indeed2000](#): > > Hi, how can i send logstash output to questdb? > which plugin suitable for this aim and compatible with questdb? Logstash does not have any output plugin to send logs to QuestDB, I don't think you can use Logstash to this task unless you choose to build your own plugin. ---

If you need to move data from logstash to questdb I would suggest putting a [third party tool](https://questdb.io/docs/third-party-tools/overview/) like kafka between them. ---
