I am using the http\_poller input plugin to poll a rest api every n secs. I need to store a value from the response of the current interval and use it in the next interval. Is there anyway to store/maintain this information in LS? ---

Like a session key or similar? No, but it'd be handy. ---

The rest api returns paged data which I am trying to ingest using logstash. Is there any plan to add anything like that in future releases ? ---
