Here is my logstash.conf:

```auto
input {
   mongodb{
    uri => 'mongodb://localhost:27017/vnExpressCrawler?authSource=vnExpressCrawler'
    placeholder_db_dir => '/opt/logstash-mongodb/'
    placeholder_db_name => 'logstash_sqlite.db'
    collection => 'articles'
    batch_size => 5000
  }
 }

filter {
 }

output {
   stdout {
        codec => rubydebug
     }
   elasticsearch { 
    action => "index"
    index => "mongo_log_data"
    hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
    }
}

```

I get error: Error: Don't know how to handle `Java::JavaLang::IllegalStateException` for `PipelineAction::Create<main>` create at org/logstash/execution/ConvergeResultExt.java:135 add at org/logstash/execution/ConvergeResultExt.java:60 when I run logstash -f logstash.conf Can someone help me solve this?

This looks like the main error you should look at.

There is no native input plugin for mongodb. Are you using a 3rd party plugin and is it installed? You can run `bin/logstash-plugin list` to see which plugins you have installed.
