I am new to LogStash. My task is to pull CSV data directly from Remote URL to Logstash from where it could be fed into ElasticSearch for Kibana Interface.

I found there are filters to read CSV file but could not find way to grab remote data. I could do to create a CSV file on hard disk for read but I'd like to avoid this due to data amount.

Kindly guide me.

Have a look at the [http\_poller input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html).
