inanzzz | Preventing elasticsearch listener from updating index after insert, update and delete operations on a database object

Default listener settings of FOSElasticaBundle is set to automatically update elasticsearch index in real time when an object is added, updated or removed. It is set as listener: ~ in the config file. If you want to control it yourself then you can use examples below. However, it only applies to parent object if you have child object in mapping as well so you will have to create a custom service listener/subscriber to handle child objects.

Prevent all

listener:
    insert: false
    update: false
    delete: false
