Hi All,

What are the ways elasticsearch provides, so I know when a new document is created, in an index and of a type ?  
And is the best one or most adapter one, out of those ?

Thanking you.

Regards  
Sree

ES does not provide any functionality around this, even Shield doesn't yet provide this level of auditing (but should in the future). You would need to build something.
