I am very new to ES.  
I have a basic question,  
to create the index after creating the pipeline as  
\</\>PUT my\_index/my\_type/my\_id?pipeline=attachment  
{  
"data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="  
}  
\</\>  
Can Ingest automatically extract the file content if I mention the file name, like

> **[.xyz Domain Names | Join Generation XYZ](https://gen.xyz/)**
>
> .xyz is for every website, everywhere.™ We offer the most flexible and affordable domain names to create choice for the next generation of internet users.

or we have to extract the file content and push the data to elasticsearch?

May be very basic, but please help me .

Thanks,  
Anjan

No. You need to push data to elasticsearch.
