I have seen many other people who have posted similar issues but none of them have posted how they resolved it. Some even say that they waited and it started working.

Here is my conf file

```
input {

  file {
    path => 'C:/20170901TO20170930.csv'
    start_position => 'beginning'
    }
}

filter {
  csv {
      separator => ","
      columns => ["Customer_code"]
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ""
    user => ""
    password => ""
    index => "data"
  }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

I have tried with elasticsearch output and stdout -- alone and together

My logs can be found at

Have you understood how the file input's sincedb feature works? Have you tried clearing the sincedb file or setting the `sincedb_path` option to "nul"?
