Hello, I am running Logstash from command line with the config file below. I am not getting the first row header but the record (second row data after header) has appeared as column names. Please help. Thanks

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/home/data/file.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
autodetect\_column\_names =\> "true"  
}
