Hello,

in order to put document in elasticsearch, I actually use Filebeat and Logstash : Filebeat read logs and put then to logstash which reformats and puts data to Elasticsearch.

Actually I use the logstash options "action" and "doc\_as\_upsert" to permit document update :  
action =\> "update"  
doc\_as\_upsert =\> true

I want to stop use logstash. Is there a solution to make document update without logstash (in Filebeat or Elasticsearch) ?

Thanks.
