How to import csv files into Elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a csv file exported from a database and can not find correct information on how to do.

I want to upload the CSV file to Elasticsearch then display it in Kiwana.

I would appreciate help.

Regards,
Marc

Use Logstash with stdin/file input and the CSV filter :slight_smile:

I'm missing steps to continue.

Start Logstash manually and then pass the config file to it with the -f flag, /path/to/bin/logstash -f /path/to/config/file/conf.

I hear Kibana will have this feature in future releases? Anyone know how close we are to having it?

For the time being there are ton of python scripts and github tools, all of which broken or defective (maybe I can't figure it out lol) so a native Kibana GUI would be most helpful!

There's an open issue for it here - https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9804

Not sure if there is a target for it at this stage, but please feel free to add a +1 to the OP :slight_smile:
