Hello,

I'm having trouble collecting data periodically from an elasticsearch index. My input config is quite simple

```auto
input {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "${ELASTICSEARCH_URL_INPUT}"
    index => 'logcentral_pn'
    docinfo => true
    query => '{"query":{"range":{"date":{"gt":"now-5m/m","lte":"now/m"}}},"sort":[{"date":{"order":"asc"}}]}'
  }
}

```

But when I start Logstash with this it does nothing and then terminates.

```auto
[2020-12-18T11:50:22,275][INFO][logstash.javapipeline][main] Starting pipeline {:pipeline_id=>"main", "pipeline.workers"=>1, "pipeline.batch.size"=>125, "pipeline.batch.delay"=>50, "pipeline.max │
│ _inflight"=>125, "pipeline.sources"=>["/home/config/oi107-sdx.conf"], :thread=>"#<Thread:0x42c2d9bb@/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:54 run>"} │

```

The thing is that if I run this exact query on kibana or even in a curl I do receive data so the query not returning anything is not the problem.

I also tried with other queries and it seems to work fine with match\_all. The mapping of the field date is defined as `{"type": "date"}`

I'm using Logstash 7.10.1 trying to collect in Elasticsearch 7.4.2

Any ideas about this ?

Thanks in advance
