title: Postgres to ElasticSearch data indexing for ELK Stack
body: <p>So I know the JDBC Rivers plugin is deprecated so even though it is being used I'd ideally not want to look at using something that is no longer supported.</p>
  
  <p>However I have a few tables in a Postgres database with values that I need to be able to search in a Kibana view. Im new to the ELK stack but i've been messing around with some of their samples to get familiar.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen some mentions of using Stored Procedures/Triggers from Postgres to send to Logstash. Although im not sure if this is the best way. Im not a developer but a QA so my coding skills are "ok" as im used to writing automation tests/etc...</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best way to do this? I would want to probably capture updates to these tables (probably new inserts or updates) OR be able to poll the data every X period of time (30s or something). Lets pretend it's for a weather station and the tables contain humidity data from different weather sensors.</p>
  
  <p>I'd want to be able to search in a Kibana view the Values/Station ID/etc...</p>
  
  <p>Is this doable? Is there maybe a better way than using Triggers/Stored procedures?</p>
