Hello  
i'm using the logstash elasticsearch plugin input, but i find out that logstash stops. I wish to keep logstash tour to retrieve new events coming from elasticsearch.

## My configuration:

input {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost:9200"  
index =\> "webmethodsmediator"  
query =\> '{ "query": { "match": { "eventType": "TransactionalEvents" } }}'  
scroll =\> "3600"  
}  
}  
filter {  
date {  
match =\> ["creationDate", "UNIX\_MS","UNIX"]  
timezone =\> "UTC+1"  
target =\> "metricDate"

}  
}  
output {

# stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }

## elasticsearch { hosts =\> "localhost:9200" index =\> "selfservice-metrics" } }

Can you tell me how?

Thank you

Ismael

That's the expected behavior as the plugin is currently implemented.
