Hi Elastic Community, I am new to Kibana and Elastic. I am following the official Elastic tutorial. In the demonstration, a file was uploaded to Data Visualizer, which was analyzed successfully, but I got the following error when I tried the same.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The file structure cannot be determined. illegal_argument_exception
The explanation so far:
[Using character encoding [UTF-8], which matched the input with [15%] confidence - first [8kB] of input was pure ASCII]
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I have also checked the file in an online JSON validator which confirmed that the file is correct. The full file contains almost 200k lines. I am sharing few lines as a sample here:

The original file didn't have [ ] square brackets at start and end. This was an error when I checked JSON online which was removed after adding [ ] square brackets at start and end.
I have also tried to upload file without date field but still getting error. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Happy Learning
