Splunk Search

Getting data from Elastic Search

Hi

Can you share sample scripts or configuration setting for me to get data from elastic search in an incremental manner?

The source data is information about event with updated_at to get the incremental information. Other attributes include event_name, event_location, event_start_time, event_end_time

thanks, ronak

This might be helpful for anyone visiting; I have started working on an addon for Elasticsearch instances, feel free to use it!

Could you provide more information on what you need here? Is the data already indexed and you just want to search and get the latest/updated incremental data?

hi - Yes, the data resides in ES.

Not sure what you are trying to do, but you could ship the data you already have to Elasticsearch to Splunk simultaneously. I'm doing this to evaluate both products.

Some system, that can send data to one destination , in my enterprise has already sent data to ES. My objective is to extract the data from ES and give to splunk for indexing.

I'm looking for a template script or configuration that someone might have already done to extract data from ES ...

Hope this helps clarify

appreciate any pointers

thanks, ronak

I agree with Chris on this. Anyone looking to do this would be better off installing a UF (or HF) on the same data source that ES is using (e.g. syslog server). Even if you had an easy way to port data from ES to Splunk, you would be introducing a new point of failure, and would inherit any issues ES has with data integrity, availability, etc.
