Initially i have created **c10.conf** file it store csv data in recordv2 index it is working fine. After that i have created new configuration file **gmrtant.conf** to read multiple csv file to read new data which is different than old csv file. Now if i run new config file it store new data as well as old csv data in newly created index. (snapshot is attached which contain old csv data in new file in index.)

Old config file: c10.conf f

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/home/bhaveshk/record.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"

filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> [  
"name",  
"salary",  
"age",  
"antname"  
]  
separator =\> ","

```
    }

mutate {convert => ["salary", "float"]}
mutate {convert => ["age", "float"]}
mutate {convert => ["antname", "string"]}

mutate {remove_field => ["message"]}

```

}

## output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> "localhost:9200" index =\> "recordv2" } stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } }

## New Config file: gmrtant.conf
