Hi,

I'm in need of a running an elasticsearch query periodically, every minute or so, and return a count that is based on new records since the last time the query was executed.

I tried the "http\_poller" input plugin however it doesn't support the ability to store the last timestamp to then filter by, could someone please provide a solution I could try.

Thanks,  
E
