We have an API from Genesys to integrate with Elasticsearch through logstash, but the authorization to that api is token system. Is there a way to fetch the token in Logstash.  
What would be the best approach to integrate GENESYS with ELK.

Any suggestions please.

If you are using the http\_poller input then it likely won't work.  
What you can do is generate a generic event using the [generator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-generator.html) plugin on a set schedule.  
Then use a combination of the [ruby](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-ruby.html) plugin (if needed) and [http](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-http.html) plugins in the filter section to generate the api token and save it in a field and then a second http to use that generated token (that you saved in a field) to run the query you would like.
