Once the new record is updated or insterted, i need to call this command

That's not a Logstash question but a question for your database. Does it support triggers and what kind of operations can you do in a trigger?

What's the problem with the jdbc input's schedule option?

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.
