Hi ,

I am using elastic search 7.2 and jdk1.8 .  
I want to sync up with my oracle data with elastic search and want to use JDBC input plugin .

I don't want to use logstash for sync up.  
can i use jdbc input plugin alone to do sync up?  
I checked below link and found no installer for **jdbc input plugin**.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html)

Any one please help me to know the jdbc input plugin download link and the configuration needs to be done ?

Thanks in advance.

Shan

Welcome.  
The jdbc input plugin is part of logstash, not elasticsearch. So you just need to install logstash if you want to use it.

Adding in case it helps that I shared most of my thoughts there: [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/)

Basically, I'd recommend modifying the application layer if possible and send data to elasticsearch in the same "transaction" as you are sending your data to the database.
