How to update an index/indice in Elasticsearch?

I've already got my index (response_summary) created using logstash, which puts data into the index from a MySQL database.

My concern here is, how will I be able to update the index manually whenever a new set of records are being added to the database without deleting and recreating the index yet again.

Or is there a way that it can be done automatically, whenever a db change is done?

Any help could be appreciated.

No way with ES. There were the rivers in ES, but they were removed in ES 2.0. The alternative is the Logstash JDBC input plugin to automatically pickup changes based on a defined schedule.

For doing the same with files, you have the LS file input plugin which is tailing the files to pick up the new changes and, also, to keep track of where it left off in case LS is restarted.
