I saw that logstash is used for sync data between a sql server and Elastic Search 5
In this example , it is shown that Logstash can use jdbc plugin for importing data from a database
But when I look at the available plugins, I notice one plugin named Beats, it look like to also be used for importing data
I propapbly missanderstood , so is anybody acn explain me whatr the use of Beats plugin and hos is it used by logstash please?

Logstash currently has 52 ways of getting input. As you've seen, jdbc and beats are two. Each of the inputs serves a different use case. As described in the doc, jdbc is used to "ingest data in any database with a JDBC interface" while beats is used to "receive events from the Elastic Beats framework".
Depending on your needs, you would choose the appropriate input plugin.
