The File data visualizer feature lets you upload a CSV, JSON, or text file. This feature enables you to ingest, parse, and index your file with a few clicks.

The File Data Visualizer feature is found in Kibana under the Machine Learning \> Data Visualizer section. Then click on the "Upload a file" option.

You can look at FSCrawler.  
It can read files from disk or you can upload files using the rest interface.
