I have used CSV filter to log the events  
my sample data is

```auto
2021-12-09 12:12:09,155 INFO com.tdg.box.incrindex.service.PastEventProcessor [Thread-14] Captured Event	false	dbf5b71c-faa1-4e73-b8db-bf057002e3f5	UPLOAD	17472455835	Sumie Miyabayashi	smiyabayashi@alnylam.com	Thu Dec 09 12:09:08 IST 2021	file	893851594129	Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi 2022 Corporate Rate Offer.pdf	149199275152	私のBox Notes	17472455835	Sumie Miyabayashi	{"item_type":"file","item_id":"893851594129","item_name":"Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi 2022 Corporate Rate Offer.pdf","parent":{"type":"folder","name":"私のBox Notes","id":"149199275152"},"owned_by":{"type":"user","id":"17472455835","name":"Sumie Miyabayashi","login":"smiyabayashi@alnylam.com"}}

```

my config is  
csv {  
columns =\> ["msg","scope","event\_id","event\_type","creator\_id","creator\_name","creator\_login","event\_timestamp","item\_type","item\_id","item\_name","parent\_id","parent\_name","owner\_id","owner\_name","event\_json"]  
separator =\> " "  
skip\_empty\_columns =\> true  
}

See [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/exception-csv-illegal-quoting-in-line-1/291437/2) answer. The JSON is the problem.
