Checked multiple other potential solutions, I am trying to exporter the aggregation data to some other data storage.

Logstash elasticsearch input plugin seems to be an alternative. Sadly plugin version we are using does no support it.

> The… work is based on the existing PR #90 (and potentially resolves #58)
> However code & tests were updated to include all the changes that were introduced since original PR was created/last updated

> Tests are included and also was live tested with Logstash v8.8.2

Watcher seems to be another alternative. Below is a thread about it
