I would like to know how I do something like jdbc-input, that the query is always the most recent, but this using elaticsearch\_input.  
if it is not possible, please help me to build a query that returns everything from the last 6 months for example, follow my input

```auto
input {
      elasticsearch {
        hosts => "localhost"
        index => "XXXXXXX*"
        query => '{ "query": { "query_string": { "query": "*" } } }'
        size => 500
        scroll => "5m"
     
      }
}

```

You should use [a range query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch//reference/7.14/query-dsl-range-query.html#ranges-on-dates) for this.
