Hi All, I would like to know if its possible to read the entire log file and then parse messages and produce a single JASON document / CSV file (single entry)? Appreciate any pointers on this. Thanks ---

Hi, I'm quite a newbie in ES... but have you tried the CSV output with path option ? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-csv.html#plugins-outputs-csv-dir\_mode](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-csv.html#plugins-outputs-csv-dir_mode) ---

Yes, when log files is read each message is parsed and there is a entry made in CSV. What I am trying to achieve is read all message and then write the message a single csv entry E.g. (What works) One,two,three, ,four,five,six What I am trying to do One,two,three,four,five,six ---

I was able to achieve the below but I am looking to have all the fields to be part of one single JSON Current **strong text** {"build\_plat":"i686-linux-rhe5,64bit"} {"app\_name":"ABC"} {"app\_type":"ServerXYZ"} {"host\_name":"lab02"} {"version\_no":"8.9.400.50"} Envisaged **strong text** { "build\_plat": "i686-linux-rhe5,64bit", "app\_name": "ABC", "app\_type": "ServerXYZ", "host\_name": "lab02", "version\_no": "8.9.400.50" } ---
