Hi,
We're been using Mongo 3.4 and ES 2.4 and syncing them using [Mongo Connector](https://github.com/yougov/mongo-connector/wiki). We're finally upgrading our ES to 7.5. Reading online it seems that Mongo Connector doesnt work with versions that are higher than 5.x and so my questions are:
1. Can we still use Mongo Connector with the latest ES version (currently 7.5.2)?
2. If not, what are the recommended alternatives?
Thanks

@gidgid, let me try to answer your questions.
1. [Mongo Connector](https://github.com/yougov/mongo-connector) is not developed by Elastic - this is a third-party MongoDB Connector. As such, Elastic cannot provide any support. There is an [existing issue](https://github.com/yougov/mongo-connector/issues/888) requesting for support for Elasticsearch 7.x. You may want to collaborate there and subscribe to this issue for further updates.
2. You might come across the `logtash-input-mongodb` [plugin](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb) which is also available in [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-input-mongodb). This is a community plugin and it is not supported by Elastic. From the GitHub repository, there is no activity since 2017 so I am not sure whether this would work with Logstash / Elasticsearch 7.x. You can refer to our [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_logstash_plugins) for the list of plugins supported by Elastic.
3. Some other alternatives:
- Use [MongoDB Connector for Apache Kafka](https://www.mongodb.com/kafka-connector) and use Logstash with [Kafka input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-kafka.html). This may be worth taking a look.
- I also came accross this [Discuss post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/mongodb-logstash-integration-solved/122299) where a community user was using Logstash with the [JDBC input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html). However, this could come with its own set of challenges as described in the post.
I hope that helps.
