Hello, first of all, sorry for my English. I hope you understand me.

I´m new in ELK and I have a problem when I try to update document from logstash to elasticsearch.

In my log file, I receive a line with a date of start, and before I receive a line with a date of end. The problem is that when start time and stop time is short, Iogstash send stop time first and start time before. This is a problem because when I represent this in kibana, start time crash stop time.

log file example:

```
INICIO -> 20180725 11:00:00 
FIN -> 20180725 11:00:01 

```

output.conf:

```
output {
	elasticsearch {
		index => "index_malla_sat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
		action => "update"
     doc_as_upsert => "true"
		document_id => "%{path}"
	}
} }

```

I hope you can help me.

Thanks for all.
