The problem with the plugin is that it does not see updated documents, for example i have a document that contains the field "status" , at this point i have my logstash pipeline already started and if the document status field gets updated that was previously indexed, nothing will happend in es , in other words only inserts with new document\_id gets to es but not updates within already indexed documents  
are they alternatives to mongo-input-logstash plugin,  
ps: i still want to use logstash , is pushing data to kafka then logstash them to elasticsearch could be the answer ?
