Dears,

ELK version: 7.7.0

Is there any way to monitor/discover modification of documents in the ELK? Any idea?

Best Regards,

Is this an application question? For the latter, you could have an ingest pipeline that creates a `last_modified` timestamp and query for that one to find recently changed documents?

Hi @spinscale,

Yes, this is in case of logs from application. Thanks for your suggestion.
