Hello everyone,

I am trying to load a data into kibana with logstash but still receiving the following error :

 ![errordate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/8/b84abe0d2abe84575c00087d8d8265ed27acbd2f.jpeg)

Here is my config : ( "Date et heure" in my csv is like "24/06/2019 21:56")

##############  
mutate{

```
	convert => { 
		
		"Date et heure" => "string"
		"Utilisateur" => "string" 
		"Code" => "integer" 
		"Libellé évènement" => "string" 
		"Code retour" => "integer" 
		"Application" => "string" 
		"Code site" => "integer" 
		"Objet Start" => "string" 
		"Usage cache" => "string" 						
		"Valeur avant modif" => "string" 
		"Valeur après modif" => "string"	
	
	}
	
	date {	
	
		match => ["Date et heure", "dd/MM/YY HH:mm"] 
	
	}

```

You cannot load data to Kibana.  
Kibana is the frontend software that reads data from ElasticSearch and puts a graphic on top of you data.

You have a typo in your config in the line 42. Did you close the mutate filter? Because I see that you go directly to date and hence the error.

Try:  
mutate{

```
	convert => { 
		
		"Date et heure" => "string"
		"Utilisateur" => "string" 
		"Code" => "integer" 
		"Libellé évènement" => "string" 
		"Code retour" => "integer" 
		"Application" => "string" 
		"Code site" => "integer" 
		"Objet Start" => "string" 
		"Usage cache" => "string" 						
		"Valeur avant modif" => "string" 
		"Valeur après modif" => "string"	

	}
	}
	date {	
	
		match => ["Date et heure", "dd/MM/YY HH:mm"] 
	
	}
```

thank you for your response,

the error was because I didn't closed the mutate, but it looks like the date{} don't work, I don't see any change,  
For example if a date is "04/06/2019 03:40", it loads only"4"
