I have same problem with logstash issue [Sync mongodb data to elasticsearch(update if exists or insert) using logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sync-mongodb-data-to-elasticsearch-update-if-exists-or-insert-using-logstash/206897/2)

[https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sync-mongodb-data-to-elasticsearch-update-if-exists-or-insert-using-logstash/206897/2](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sync-mongodb-data-to-elasticsearch-update-if-exists-or-insert-using-logstash/206897/2)

if someone solved this probelm help me  
thank you

I just want to sync the data from mongodb to elastic using logstash. Its working good, when any new record comes in mongodb, logstash pushes into elastic. But when I update any record in mongodb then it does not change into elasticsearch. I want to make changes in the config file so that when any record updates in mongo it should reflect in elastic as well.

I have already tried by making action =\> "index" as well as action =\>"update" in .conf file.

input{  
mongodb{  
uri =\> 'mongodb://localhost:27017/DBname'

placeholder\_db\_dir =\> '/opt/logstash'  
placeholder\_db\_name =\> 'logstash\_sqlite.db'  
collection =\> "collectionName"  
batch\_size =\> 500  
}  
}

filter {  
mutate {  
remove\_field =\> ["\_id"]  
}  
}

output{  
elasticsearch{  
action =\> "index"  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "mongo\_hi\_log\_data"  
}  
stdout{ codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

This was designed for parsing logs that were written into mongodb. This means that it may not re-parse db entries that were changed and already parsed.

based on [this](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb/blob/master/README.md)

are you using that plugins? because i don’t see mongodb plugins in official [elastic documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html)

I'm using these plugins :

RUN logstash-plugin install logstash-output-elasticsearch  
RUN logstash-plugin install logstash-input-mongodb

and installed successfully.

I have seen update actions in logstash docs
