Hello everyone,

I am trying to load a csv file with logstash with the following conf :

############################################################################################################################  
input  
{  
file  
{  
path =\> "C:\Users\BEKRISO\KIBANA7.0.1\INPUT\9r\_piste\_audit.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "C:\Users\BEKRISO\KIBANA7.0.1\sincedb"  
}  
}

############################################################################################################################

filter  
{  
csv  
{  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\> ["Date et heure","Utilisateur","Code","Libellé évènement","Code retour","Application","Code site","Objet Start","Usage cache","Valeur avant modif","Valeur après modif"]  
}  
}

##############################################################################################################################

output  
{  
elasticsearch  
{  
hosts =\> "cas0000658713:9200"  
index =\> "monbeaunode\_1"  
}

stdout {}

}

############################################################################################################################

and don't understand why my file isn't loaded, this is what I get as a result :

Use forward slash instead of backslash in Windows paths for the file input.
