@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.
