Hi Everyone, My project has all the domains listed in an external CSV file. Can elastic enterprise search engine load all the domains from this file and use it for crawling ?

Hi Kiran,

We’re currently working on a set of public APIs for the crawler, that should allow you to manage all aspects of the crawler configuration based on the information you have in your CSV file. This functionality should be available over the next few releases.
