Hi,

I am trying to migrate the data using logstash mongodb plugin .. I am able to migrate the data but it is failing while updating the data in mongo db as it is creating a new document while i am trying to append or update any field. I tried by creating a unique key also but still it is giving me duplicate id error eg.

[2020-09-28T10:41:00,459][WARN][logstash.outputs.mongodb][patient\_pipeline] Skipping insert because of a duplicate key error {:event=\>#LogStash::Event:0x6dee11af, :exception=\>#\<Mongo::Error::OperationFailure: E11000 duplicate key error collection: lzocsp.Patient index: id\_primary dup key: { : "70413" } (11000)\>}

Is the MongoDB plugin provide the feature to update the record from DB??

Thanks

I do not think so, it [only does inserts](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/mongo-output-document-deletion/249693/2).
