Index files on files system in Elasticsearch

[M.alsioufi]

Hi,

Is there any ready-to-use tool that indexes metadata about files in a folder. Metadata like full path, file name, date of creation...etc. so it works like a mirror of the files system, and it will reflect any change happened to any file, with the ability of indexing the content of the files if needed.

In other words, an Elastic stack based search engine over file system, that index all files in the system or a folder(content or metadata) in an Elasticsearch database.
