Hello everyone,

I want to send queries to Elasticsearch through the Elasticsearch  
plugin within Logstash for every event in process. However, Logstash  
sends requests to Elasticsearch in bulk and indexed events are not  
immediately made available for search in Elasticsearch. It seems to me  
that there will be a lag (up to in process a second or more) between an  
index passing through Logstash and it being searchable. I don't know how  
to solve this.

Do you have any idea ?

Thank you for your time.

Sounds a lot like this issue [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-elasticsearch/issues/15](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-elasticsearch/issues/15) which hasn't had much traction yet.

Is this issue not already being discussed here: [Logstash: problem for querying elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-problem-for-querying-elasticsearch/52977/9) ?

Why open a new thread?
