Hi, I have a db table in sql server which logs the errors and maintains in a table. I want to be able to send it to elastic search after parsing it through logstash. Now the problem is the server points to a different port number while logstash tries to establish a connection on default 1433.  
Here is how my logstash config looks like.

input {  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "C:\confidential\sqljdbc\_6.0\enu\jre8\sqljdbc42.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:sqlserver://s1wew.abccorp.netnet,20486;user=dummyuname;password=dummypasswpord;"  
jdbc\_user =\> "**"  
jdbc\_password =\> "**"  
statement =\> "SELECT \*  
FROM [EMEAData].[dbo].[ServicesTransactionErrorLog]"  
}  
}

filter {

}

output {

stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "127.0.0.1"

index =\> "logstash=-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

}  
}

At least according to [http://stackoverflow.com/a/25456677/414355](http://stackoverflow.com/a/25456677/414355) that's not what a SQL Server connection string for JDBC should look like. Anyway, Logstash doesn't care about the connection string or port numbers. It just passes the connection string to the JDBC library.

I am sorry, I forgot to mention the database name in the connectionstring. Works for me now. @magnusbaeck Thank you for the quick response
