hello,
if you could provide the input code it will be easy to provide the solution for you.

Regards.

Hi balumari1,

Thanks for replying, please see below.

input {
file {
path => "C:/Users/zondol/data/log_file.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "nul"

}

}

filter {

    csv {

       separator => ","

       columns => ["originId","userId ","queryType","neStream ","neManager","neId","subscriberId","subscriberIdType"]
    }

}

output {

elasticsearch{

 hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
 index => "originId"
 document_type => "output_input_log"
}


stdout {}

}

4

in filter section remove the spaces for the field for "userId ","neStream " as shown below

columns => ["originId","userId ","queryType","neStream ","neManager","neId","subscriberId","subscriberIdType"]

to

columns => ["originId","userId","queryType","neStream","neManager","neId","subscriberId","subscriberIdType"]

Hi
I had same problem and changed host:
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
to this:
hosts => "localhost"
My load was successful.
Maybe it works for you too.

6

here is sample example,

input {
file {
path => "D:/Balu/ELK-stack/csvfile.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "NUL"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => ","
columns => ["open","high","low","close","volume"]
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
index => "wallet-address-index"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

This is my config file and it works:
input {
file {
path => "C:/Data/booking/booking.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
#sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => "|"
columns => ["hotelId","HotelName","City"]
remove_field => [ "host", "message", "path", "@timestamp", "@version" ]
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
index => "booking"
document_type => "hotel"
}
stdout {}
}

Maybe problem is logstash and elasticsearch version! I think they should have same version. If your versions is different, try same version!

9

Did you comment out sincedb_path

10

The versions are the same , both 6.5.1

11

Yes. And after that it works!!! I don't know why.

12

I test it again and my load is fail now!!!
But when unpack logstash.zip again and use it without plugins I installed before it works.
Try this way, maybe that's it.

13

It doesn't work for me

14

I don't understand this part

15

I removed old logstash folder, and downloaded logstash-6.5.1 again and used it.
Try this way.

16

let me try..thanks saed..you help is very appreciated

17

I got it right , I was saving my csv file as filename .csv so it couldn't recognize the file :slight_smile:
