multiple inputs on logstash jdbc

Question

I am using logstash jdbc to keep the things syncd between mysql and elasticsearch. Its working fine for one table. But now I want to do it for multiple tables. Do I need to open multiple in terminal

logstash  agent -f /Users/logstash/logstash-jdbc.conf

each with a select query or do we have a better way of doing it so we can have multiple tables being updated.

my config file

input {
  jdbc {
    jdbc_driver_library => "/Users/logstash/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar"
    jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name"
    jdbc_user => "root"
    jdbc_password => "password"
    schedule => "* * * * *"
    statement => "select * from table1"
  }
}
output {
    elasticsearch {
        index => "testdb"
        document_type => "table1"
        document_id => "%{table_id}"
        hosts => "localhost:9200"
    }
}

You can have a single config with multiple jdbc input and then parametrize the index and document_type in your elasticsearch output depending on which table the event is coming from. — Val

You can definitely have a single config with multiple jdbc input and then parametrize the index and document_type in your elasticsearch output depending on which table the event is coming from.

input {
  jdbc {
    jdbc_driver_library => "/Users/logstash/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar"
    jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name"
    jdbc_user => "root"
    jdbc_password => "password"
    schedule => "* * * * *"
    statement => "select * from table1"
    type => "table1"
  }
  jdbc {
    jdbc_driver_library => "/Users/logstash/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar"
    jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name"
    jdbc_user => "root"
    jdbc_password => "password"
    schedule => "* * * * *"
    statement => "select * from table2"
    type => "table2"
  }
  # add more jdbc inputs to suit your needs 
}
output {
    elasticsearch {
        index => "testdb"
        document_type => "%{type}"   # <- use the type from each input
        hosts => "localhost:9200"
    }
}

hmm...I think that the issue would be document_id => "%{table_id}" unless I can auto generate a unique document_id

Val Over a year ago

Can you elaborate please? Do you have different ID fields per table you'd like to use as the document ID?

Asim Zaidi Over a year ago

yes so I have different IDs and I rather have elasticsearch create ID instead of trying to use already existing mysql IDS

Val Over a year ago

Then simply remove the document_id stanza and ES will autogenerate its own IDs. I've updated my answer.

thank you ...can you please tell me how to get output on the screen ..I am running this logstash -f logstash-jdbc.conf but that does not show any out put...so I dont know if its done or still running

This will not create duplicate data. and compatible logstash 6x.

# YOUR_DATABASE_NAME : test
# FIRST_TABLE :  place  
# SECOND_TABLE :  things    
# SET_DATA_INDEX : test_index_1, test_index_2

input {
    jdbc {
        # The path to our downloaded jdbc driver
        jdbc_driver_library => "/mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar"
        jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
        # Postgres jdbc connection string to our database, YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"
        # The user we wish to execute our statement as
        jdbc_user => "root"
        jdbc_password => ""
        schedule => "* * * * *"
        statement => "SELECT  @slno:=@slno+1 aut_es_1, es_qry_tbl.* FROM (SELECT * FROM `place`) es_qry_tbl, (SELECT @slno:=0) es_tbl"
        type => "place"
        add_field => { "queryFunctionName" => "getAllDataFromFirstTable" }
        use_column_value => true
        tracking_column => "aut_es_1"
    }

    jdbc {
        # The path to our downloaded jdbc driver
        jdbc_driver_library => "/mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar"
        jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
        # Postgres jdbc connection string to our database, YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"
        # The user we wish to execute our statement as
        jdbc_user => "root"
        jdbc_password => ""
        schedule => "* * * * *"
        statement => "SELECT  @slno:=@slno+1 aut_es_2, es_qry_tbl.* FROM (SELECT * FROM `things`) es_qry_tbl, (SELECT @slno:=0) es_tbl"
        type => "things"
        add_field => { "queryFunctionName" => "getAllDataFromSecondTable" }
        use_column_value => true
        tracking_column => "aut_es_2"
    } 
}

# install uuid plugin 'bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-uuid'
# The uuid filter allows you to generate a UUID and add it as a field to each processed event.

filter {

    mutate {
            add_field => {
                    "[@metadata][document_id]" => "%{aut_es_1}%{aut_es_2}"
            }
    }

    uuid {
        target    => "uuid"
        overwrite => true
    }    
}

output {
    stdout {codec => rubydebug}
    if [type] == "place" {
        elasticsearch {
            hosts => "localhost:9200"
            index => "test_index_1_12"
            #document_id => "%{aut_es_1}"
            document_id => "%{[@metadata][document_id]}"
        }
    }
    if [type] == "things" {
        elasticsearch {
            hosts => "localhost:9200"
            index => "test_index_2_13"
            document_id => "%{[@metadata][document_id]}"
            # document_id => "%{aut_es_2}"
            # you can set document_id . otherwise ES will genrate unique id. 
        }
    }
}

I am trying to achieve something similar from multiple JDBC block. Somone can please help me to get the table value returned from first JDBC block? jdbc { ... statement => "select * form users" ... } jdbc { ... statement => "select * form customer where user_id = '%{users.id}'" // How to achieve this? ... }

If you need to run more than one pipeline in the same process, Logstash provides a way to do this through a configuration file called pipelines.yml and using multiple pipelines

multiple pipeline

Using multiple pipelines is especially useful if your current configuration has event flows that don’t share the same inputs/filters and outputs and are being separated from each other using tags and conditionals.
