Hi there,

I have a big problem here.

I would like to import some csv files in Kibana to process them true elastich search.  
When i try with my local machine evritying is working fine doing : logstash -f /my\_folder/logstash.conf

But now that I'm using Docker and is all about containers i have some problem.  
Is working only if i pass stdin and a normal message but with my working directory of my pc is dosn't work.

I supposed i have to put my csv in the containers??

my logstash config file is this one:  
input {  
file {  
path =\> ["/home/sirox/Base\_Sim/base2012prova.csv"]  
type =\> "csv"  
}  
}

filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> ["idade","sexo","racacor"]  
separator =\> ","  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["[http://elasticsearch:9200](http://elasticsearch:9200)" ]

}  
}

the command that i use to submit my file is:

docker run -h logstash --name logstash --link elasticsearch:elasticsearch -it --rm -v "$PWD":/config-dir logstash -f /config-dir/logstash.conf

I really appreciate if you could help me.  
Thanks a lot

Alberto
