Report To Elastic Search

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp extension, authored by Adam Piper and last updated 10 May 2017, that passes issues discovered by Burp Scanner to stdout or an ElasticSearch database. Configuration comes from the Java Preferences store when Burp runs via the UI and from environment variables when running headless, and the extension does not support authenticated access to ElasticSearch.

Key Takeaway: The extension infers scan boundaries from a cooldown period rather than real start and end signals, so concurrent scans are merged into one and a mid-scan output switch drops the beginning of the current scan - gaps that land directly in the ElasticSearch data your team would query.
