Hello, is there a way to import different csv files to elastic (each csv have its own index on elastic) via beats? ---

I think your best option for processing CSV data would be to read the file with Filebeat, send it to Logstash, process it with a [csv filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html), then forward it to Elasticsearch. While processing the data in Logstash you could set the destination index based on the source file name or some other attribute of the data. ---
