What is the best middleware for the following architecture Logs ELK Tableau

Question

Please, guys, can anybody provide me a clear idea of the best middleware choice for this architecture? I need a real-time middleware with a lot of inputs, filters, and the ability to immediately reach Tableau software as an output. Between Logstash, Apache Flume, and their perplexing output toward Tableau, I'm confused.

If someone has a better idea, I'm all ears! Thank you very much.

It appears that you'll need an ETL to clean up and mix the data before using it as a Tableau output. If that's the case, you can consider using the free source Pentaho Data Integration (aka Kettle) and the TDE Output Plugin to get a Tableau Server Extraction directly.
