Hi, I already configured the process, Filebeat --\>Logstash--\> Elastic Search --\>Kibana, it is working good, but we have the requirement to use Solr instead of Elastic Search, while researching on internet i found about Silk and also something about http\_solr plugin. Can i configure like this : Filebeat --\>Logstash--\>Solr --\>Kibana ? Kibana supports Solr instead of Elastic Search? Please give some suggestions. Thanks, veni ---

Kibana requires Elasticsearch and does not support Solr. ---

Thanks for reply christian, even if i use solr\_http plugin like this, i cannot use Solr with Kibana? File -\> Logstash --\>Solr --\> Kibana ? output { #stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } solr\_http { solr\_url =\> "http://SOLR\_HOST:8983/solr/logs" } i am not familiar with this logstash solr\_http plugin, please advise? . I saw some project in Lucidworks about Silk (Logstash --\> Solr--\> Banana), but after i download the project and trying to setup i am facing some issues. PLease suggest what is correct way. Thanks, veni ---

hi leela, yes, you can do file \> logstash \> solr (using solr-http output) but use banana ui instead for reporting. kibana doesnt support solr connections. btw, what are the issues you are encountering when using solr\_http output? ---
