Hello, I'm trying to send data from a CSV file to Elasticsearch using Logstash. I have configured my input, filter, and output, but I cannot find my index in Elasticsearch. I have the impression that Logstash is not processing the content of my .conf file.  
Can someone help me please?

I moved your question to #elastic-stack:logstash.

I think you should provide:

- Logstash logs
- Your pipeline
- May be add a stdout output plugin to debug more

> stdout output plugin

Hello here is my stdout output plugin  
A simple output which prints to the STDOUT of the shell running

# Logstash. This output can be quite convenient when debugging

# plugin configurations, by allowing instant access to the event

# data after it has passed through the inputs and filters.

# 

# For example, the following output configuration, in conjunction with the

# Logstash `-e` command-line flag, will allow you to see the results

# of your event pipeline for quick iteration.

# [source,ruby]

# output {

# stdout {}

# }

# 

# Useful codecs include:

# 

# `plain`: outputs event data with no delimiting between events

# 

# [source,ruby]

# output {

# stdout { codec =\> plain }

# }

# 

# `json`: outputs event data in structured JSON format

# [source,ruby]

# output {

# stdout { codec =\> json }

# }

# 

class LogStash::Outputs::Stdout \< LogStash::Outputs::Base  
config\_name "stdout"  
concurrency :single

default :codec, "rubydebug"

def register; end # must be overriden

def multi\_receive\_encoded(encoded)  
encoded.each do |event,data|  
$stdout.write(data)  
end  
end

end # class LogStash::Outputs::Stdout
