Versioning with version_type external

[Lukas_Tilch]

Hello,

I want to use an external versioning system with logstash so a document only gets updated when the version is GTE
The config looks like this

output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
elasticsearch {
hosts => [ "hcd1515g:9200" ]
action => "update"
doc_as_upsert => "true"
document_id => "%{name}"
document_type => "mks-files"
index => "logstash-mks-file"
version => "%{Rev}"
version_type => "external_gte"
}
}

But i get this error as soon as version_type is set

This is your problem right here

Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=>#<LogStash::Confi
gurationError: External versioning is not supported by the update action.

Try changing your output plugin action to index, it should start up normally afterwards.

Edit: Changed suggested action to proper one, was a typo

Thanks for yout time, with insert i got this error

Action 'insert' is invalid! Pick one of ["index", "delete", "create", "update"]`

it seems to be working with "index"
it indexes the documents, but the @version is not set with
version => "%{Rev}"

i just want a conditional update, that the document only gets indext, if its Version or Rev is GTE to the document in elasticsearch.

Edit:
It works now thanks.

@version isn't the right field it's _version it works now as intended
