Ordering record inserts via global counter, datetime stamp?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I would like to do some asynchronous, incremental processing of documents once they are inserted into the index. I would like to be able to query ES and essentially ask "give me all the documents added since this 'point in time' or since this 'global counter' to which I've already processed"). Is the only way to do this by supplying client side timestamps to each indexed record and making sure to keep all the client clocks in sync?

Yes, you need to provide timestamps and then use them when you query.
