Hello!

I am using logstash in order to replace mongo-connector, so I need to update and delete docs that were changed in MongoDB.

I set upsert and I also tried to set the action, however it seems that the input is not detected, here is my conf:

```
input {
 mongodb {
  uri => 'mongodb://localhost:27017/CitrusDB'
  placeholder_db_dir => '/elk/logstash-mongodb/'
  placeholder_db_name => 'test.db'
  collection => 'Numbers'
  batch_size => 5000
 }
}

filter{
 mutate{
  remove_field => ["mongo_id","@timestamp","_id","host","@version","logdate","log_entry"]
 }
}

output {
 elasticsearch { 
  hosts => ["localhost:9200"] 
  doc_as_upsert => true
  index => "citrusdb"
  document_type => "numbers"
 }
 stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

Logstash 6.3.2  
Elastic 6.3.1

Any thoughts?

The [MongoDB Input Plugin](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb/issues) that you're using is a community-provided plugin that currently appears to be abandonware; it has many open issues, and hasn't seen any changes in more than a year 😩

Is there an option? What would be the best way to use MongoDB, Logstash and Elastic?
