Following is my config file:

input {  
file{  
path =\> "C:\Users\shraddhasrivastav\Downloads\cars.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "dev/null"

```
stdin { 

	} 

```

}

filter{  
csv{  
columns =\> ["TimeOfDay", "BMU\_Debug\_Wnty\_Tot\_s\_NRuntwo","RBMU\_Stats\_Temp\_Cell\_Max"]  
}

```
mutate {convert => ["TimeOfDay", "timestamp"] }
mutate {convert => ["BMU_Debug_Wnty_Tot_s_NRuntwo", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["RBMU_Stats_Temp_Cell_Max", "float"] }

```

}

output {  
elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }

}

stdout {}

Start by putting `stdout {}` inside the output block.

> sincedb\_path =\> "dev/null"

While unrelated to the error message you quote, change "dev/null" to "nul".

[As documented](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-mutate.html#plugins-filters-mutate-convert), "timestamp" is not a valid conversion type for the mutate filter's convert option. I think the csv filter can parse timestamps, but otherwise the date filter is what's normally used for this.
