I am looking for options to sync and enrich mongodb documents into elasticsearch.

I found a plugin [logstash-input-mongo](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb). But it is not updated since 2017.

I also found a golang package called [Monstache](https://github.com/rwynn/monstache) which is quite active. To enrich the documents I can use the middleware or use default index pipeline in Elasticsearch. But the downside is that it is not official and may stop supporting some versions of Elasticsearch later.

So, I am looking for some officially supported ways to sync and enrich mongodb and elasticsearch.

I am wondering if I can leverage the [MongoDB Change Stream](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/changeStreams/) and send the change in JSON through http request to Logstash. Then I can do the filtering inside logstash and send to Elasticsearch.

Then everything is officially supported. Is it a good idea?
