Question

input {
jdbc {
jdbc_connection_string => “jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/FraudInsuranceBizapp”
jdbc_user => “postgres”
jdbc_password => “postgres”
jdbc_driver_class => “org.postgresql.Driver”
statement => “SELECT * from \”jhi_user\””
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => [“http://localhost:9200"]
index => “jhi_user”
document_id => “users_%{id}”
doc_as_upsert => true
#user => “es_user”
#password => “es_password”

Answer 1

jdbc_connection_string => “jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/FraudInsuranceBizapp”
logstash will not accept curly quotes. You need to use regular double quotes. The same applies to all of the options in the input and output.
