If I have logstash running with a JDBC input plugin in the configuration, is it possible to send a call to logstash to run that input plugin again? i.e. I have a database which is periodically updated by scripts, I want to trigger a logstash run as soon as the database update is complete. Does an API call exist? ---

No, there's no such API but you could fire up Logstash and it'll shut down once all news rows have been processed. ---
