I am indexing logdata in elasticsearch with a string like "customerid=1234". I have a csv/database with relations between a customer-name and the customerid. Could I add a field automatically so the customers name gets sent as a field to elasticsearch along with the rest of the data? ---

If you can transform the file with the additional customer data into a YAML file, you should be able to use the [translate plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-translate.html) to enrich the events based on the customer id. ---

Tried it out, and it works great 🙂 Thanks! ---
