There's nothing built-in for this (see [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-elasticsearch/issues/32](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-elasticsearch/issues/32)) but you can always fire up Logstash via crontab.

I have a customized plugin to do that  
I can do a fork in github if you want to build on it

So it won't be lost.. : [GitHub - flefebure/logstash-input-elasticsearch](https://github.com/flefebure/logstash-input-elasticsearch)  
It's inspired from logstash input jdbc plugin

configuration example :

> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> "forge.local"  
> record\_last\_run =\> true  
> tracking\_field =\> "computation"  
> last\_run\_metadata\_path =\> "/etc/logstash/states/my.state"  
> query =\> '{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":  
> "+\_type:activity +computation:\>=&elastic\_last\_value +computation:\<now-1h"}},  
> "sort": ["computation"]}'  
> size =\> 1000  
> index =\> "index\_201710,index\_201711"  
> schedule =\> "\* \* \* \* \*"  
> legacy\_scrolling =\> true  
> }

legacy\_scrolling is to scroll data from ES1.x server
