Hi Team,
We are extracting the logs from Salesforce object. Here is our input configuration with a object name Error\_Log\_\_c.
```
input {
salesforce {
use_test_sandbox => true
client_id => 'xxx'
client_secret => 'xxx'
username => ''xxx"
password => ''xxx"
security_token => ''xxx"
sfdc_object_name => ''Error_Log__c"
#sfdc_filters => "LastModifiedDate > : Datetime.now().addMinutes(-15)"
}
}
```
\*\*\* We are getting the LastModifiedDate in our ES output.
We are facing 2 issues here .
1. Data is been fetched from the beginning every time, which is causing duplicate entries.
2. To rectify this, we are trying pass only last modified date in sdfc filters \> last 15 mins. however , this sdfc filter mentioned config is throwing the error.
How could we resolve this issue ?
OR
Is there any other way to taking the max. of last modified date from the index and pass that as a filter value.
How do we schedule this input plugin to execute every 15 minutes to get the latest modified records.
any help would be appreciated !! Thank you .

I have the same questions. Have you made any progress. I'm just starting to look at this input plugin and I wanted to use it to get most recent changes since last run. I will tell you that the format of you date might matter. This is the format of the date string I needed to use within my salesforce developer console: 2020-10-15T18:56:44.000+0000 . I was hoping this salesforce input plugin had a feature like the JDBC plugin has. JDBC can persist a timestamp so it knows what to use when it polls the next executions.
