Hi All, I need help to index MongoDB (3.2.7) data into Elastic Search (5.6.3) In a real-time manner. After some research, I found that river plugin is deprecated. But I could read that MongoConnector can be used.
Is MongoConnector, a better option for this use-case? Or is there any other options available?

I tried with MongoConnector with the following stack in my local environment.
1. Python 2.7.1
2. Elasticsearch 5.6.3
3. MongoDB 3.2.7
4. elastic2-doc-manager[elastic5]
Steps:
- Installed the required plugins mongo-connector and elastic2\_doc\_manager.
- Started MongoDB in 'singleNodeRepl' Mode.
- Inserted record in Mongo DB to check whether the data is getting indexed into ES. But indexing is not taking place properly.
**I could see the below error from mongo-connector.log**

I have made little more progress on this:
Through MongoConnector, index is getting created but the data has not been reflected.
Below are the details of my collections:
DB: demo
Collection Name: states
Documents count : 4
Following are the documents:
singleNodeRepl:PRIMARY\> db.states.find({}).pretty();
{ "\_id" : 3, "state\_name" : "ArunachalPradesh" }
{ "\_id" : 2, "state\_name" : "Bihar" }
{ "\_id" : 4, "state\_name" : "Kerala" }
{ "\_id" : 1, "state\_name" : "Andhrapradesh" }
But when I tried to access the data after index creation, I am getting the flag _ **found : false.** _
_ **Could you please tell me why I am unable to access the data?** _
