I am using the Elasticsearch input plugin, to grab data from an elasticseach index and then use it for a translation filter, it queries elasticseach, then wtites out a file in YAML format with the translation pairs. This is so i can have a centralised translation table, that is automatically distributed to all of the logstash instances. It works well, but when additional records are added to the elastic index, these are not picked up by the input plugin. Am i missing something ? or is there a way to re-trigger the query ? ---

I think the elasticsearch input only makes the query once (upon Logstash startup). ---
