I am using logstash to read '.tsv' file and load into elasticsearch, but it is even reading headers as a document/record.

How can I ignore or stop to load the headers from the file ?

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thank you.

Regards,  
Suraj

Use a [csv filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html) with skip\_header set true and separator set to a tab character.
