Socket, REST, or WebSocket API into Elastic?

Elastic Stack Beats

Hello All,

Is there a way to push logs/metrics directly into Elastic without FB and LS?

Imagine a process where I have a metric called "Price" for a NASDAQ security. I want to push the {"ticker": "MSFT", "price", 250.62} directly into the system without a disk write, Filebeat, and logstash.

Can I set up a socket connection directly into the database? Can I establish a Websocket connection? A HTTP/RESTful endpoint to directly insert records?

Thanks,
Keith :^)

Elasticsearch is built to interact with HTTP based APIs, so you can do all of that.

This chapter of the docs goes into some of that, with examples - Getting started with Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Reference [7.10] | Elastic
