hi all,  
I want to use elasticsearch input plugin in logstash in order to make a query on elasticsearch and extract desire data; then do some filtering and finally index them. Is it possible to define a check point for this case? it means that if the connection failed and logstash could not get data from elasticsearch anymore for a time; after connection establishing, does the logstash load data from the beginning or consider a check point for itself and run the query for other data
