Ever wanted to know all about using your relational database with the ELK stack? Tal Levy, developer on the Logstash team, is here to help! In this presentation, Tal will cover how to ingest data from your database using the new Logstash JDBC plugin. He will also explore how to transform your data for seamless visualization in Kibana, and share strategies on how to keep Elasticsearch indices up-to-date with your database.
