Hi, I know there is a filesystem river plugin. But can this index JSONs as well - sounds like it is for pdf, doc etc? I have a directory with changing content (json-files get overwritten, deleted, added ...) and I would love to index that in way the filesystem plugin describes it. Greetings Valentin -- ---

No. The FSRiver plugin only index documents through the mapping attachment plugin. But, it really make sense to add this new feature. Could you open an issue in the FSRiver plugin to track it?

Done and thanks for the quick answer. > > > I would be really cool if the fs river could monitor a directory with JSON-files…. If a new file is created the JSOn should be indexed. If a file gets changed the file should be reindexed/updated. And if a file gets deleted, the document should be removed from the index as well.

Hi there, perhaps the streaming JSON river might help you (you would have to change it for sure, but it might be a start if you need a custom solution)... > **[GitHub - spinscale/elasticsearch-river-streaming-json: A sample elasticsearch...](https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-river-streaming-json)** > > A sample elasticsearch river able to stream json data in - GitHub - spinscale/elasticsearch-river-streaming-json: A sample elasticsearch river able to stream json data in --Alex On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Valentin [pletzer@gmail.com](mailto:pletzer@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I know there is a filesystem river plugin.
