i have written the following code for ingesting the files into elastic search  
/\*input{  
file{  
path=\>"D:\SOATE-41\project\DOCUMENTATION\interim\datacsv.csv"  
start\_position=\>"beginning"  
sincedb\_path=\>"/dev/null"  
}  
}  
filter{  
csv{  
seperator=\>","  
columns=\>["iyear""imonth""iday""Country""State""City""latitude""longitude""location""summary""Type of Activity""attacktype1\_txt""type of target""targsubtype1\_txt""Security Forces""Target""Tanzeem""Motive""Wpn type""Wpn Details""weapdetail""total killed""Own Killed""trts cas""Remarks""Source""scite2""scite3"]  
}  
output{  
elasticsearch{  
host=\>"localhost"  
index=\>"ciactivities"  
document\_type=\>"sitreps"  
}  
stdout{}  
} \*/
