Hi @venkatasri ,

Thank you for your response. Actually I am using batch mode in DB_INPUT.CONF

I don't want to use rising mode. And if I am using batch mode, data will index every time according to set INTERVAL.

so do we have any way to index data only once.

Hi @dhirendra761 

Both Batch & Rising inputs doesn't offer such guarantee.  Rising is often index less duplicates depends on right column and numbers of events coming in.

To answer there is no non duplicate input type using DB Connect.

Can you elaborate what you mean index the event exactly once?
