For importing CSV data into Elasticsearch, you may be able to use the new Data Visualizer (currently experimental, but [available in the default distribution with Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.5](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-6-5-0-released), scroll down to "Visualize data from a log file") under the Machine Learning tab. This will let you drag and drop your CSV file, automatically generate an ingest pipeline and mapping, and import it. ---

While I totally agree on the value of this new feature I must say after working with it for a couple of days there could be many ways to make this even more useful. I wonder where feature and bug discussions should be targeted. Is this a good place or rather go to github and discuss there? Thanks for the great work, Mischa ---

Generally, questions about the how to use a product or feature should go here, but feedback about a product or feature should go into a GitHub issue, where it will be seen and addressed by the relevant development team. We always welcome feedback, and especially for experimental features like the Data Visualizer, so I encourage you to [open an issue in the Kibana repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new) with any bugs or feature requests you have! Edit to be clear: One bug or feature request per issue please. If you have more than one, create more than one issue! ---
