I have a csv with 184 columns.

when i trying to index the data using logstash, it's config file is looking like the attached screenshot

everything was working fine but as i crossed the character number 3000, logstash stopped showing red color and showing it as an error for further columns.

Is there any such thing defined?  
if yes then how can i change it and insert all my required columns

Thanks in advance

logstash does not have a visual UI that uses colour. If you are using a text editor that has a problem with lines longer than 3,000 characters then just break the columns option into multiple lines.

```
        columns => [
            "foo1", "bar1",
            "foo2", "bar2"
        ]
```
