Hi,  
I'm using ES input plugin in order to fetch data from one index, enrich/process the data and ingest the data in a new index.  
I found that the pipeline of the LS config using the ES plugin is started and once the query is executed that pipeline is terminated.  
Is this the expected behavior?  
What can I do in order to "keep alive" that pipeline?  
I need to continuously query ES with the input plugin

Thank you very much in advance  
Regards  
Ana

Use a [schedule](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-elasticsearch.html#_scheduling)?
