I'm trying to use Logstash to get data from Mongodb and insert into Elasticsearch, using the logstash-input-mongodb plugin. Aparently I can connect in mongo with success but no document is stored in elasticsearch, not even shows in stdout.

My conf file:

> ```
> input {
> mongodb {
> uri => 'mongodb://username:password@my-server-ip:27017/database'
> placeholder_db_dir => '/home/rodolpho/Documentos/Projetos/relatorios/temp'
> placeholder_db_name => 'logstash_sqlite.db'
> collection => 'sale_notifications'
> batch_size => 5000
> }
> }
> 
> output {
> elasticsearch { 
> hosts => "localhost:9200"
> index => "myIndex"
> document_id => "%{_id}"
> document_type => "myDocType"
> }
> stdout { codec => rubydebug }
> }
> 
> ```

My mongo collection:

After a while, the execution doesn't end and not even elasticsearch index is created. Please, I really would appreciate any help.
