Hello all,

i have this csv file that i need to send to elastic:

alwats the same csv structure

```
field_1,field_2,field_3,field_4,field_5,field_6
888,0000000A,S,4,2020-09-08 00:00:00.0,name
999,0000000C,S,4,2020-09-08 00:00:00.0,name
222,0000000B,S,4,2020-09-08 00:00:00.0,name

```

....

This file arrives every day to a folder (and filebeat sends csv to logstash), I need to read the whole file containing several lines and insert on elastic each line in a different document. What would be the best way to go?

Best regards

Unless you have taken steps to prevent it, filebeat will send each line of the file as a separate event. You can parse those events using [csv](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html) filter.
