May I know how to configure Elasticsearch mongo db real-time sync config using elastic connector?

## Docker:

```
container_name: els_connector
image: docker.elastic.co/enterprise-search/elastic-connectors:8.10.2.0-SNAPSHOT

```

Hi @siva_k,

Looking at the [syncing capabilities of the MongoDB outlined in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/connectors-mongodb.html#connectors-mongodb-sync-rules) it looks like you can either specify an frequency as you have or make use of the advanced find and other sync configuration.

The closest I think you can go for is reducing the frequency to minutes or considering an alternative option.

Yes. I'd definitely modify the application layer if possible and send the same json data to both systems at the same time.
