I would like to know if it is possible to transfer a complete database from mongoDB to Elasticsearch, not just new data, using mongoDB-plugin-input ---

If the sincedb does not exist it will [find the first entry](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb/blob/097cc9be8bb57754ec4006e174f0cb5cf3ff6b65/lib/logstash/inputs/mongodb.rb#L96) in the since\_column. Then it will fetch every item after that. So you should be able to transfer the complete database omitting only the first entry. ---
