I want to load csv into ES. I have followed the steps as detailed in this blog: [http://blog.webkid.io/visualize-datasets-with-elk/](http://blog.webkid.io/visualize-datasets-with-elk/)

I am using elasticsearch 2.3.1, kibana-4.5.0-linux-x64, logstash-2.3.1.  
I have deleted the sincedb file as well which was located in my /home/ec2-user/ directory.  
I am able to create the index for the below conf file:  
input {  
stdin { }  
}  
output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost:9200"  
}  
}  
However, I am unable to create the 'stock' index in ES. Can anyone pls explain what I am doing wrong. Below is the output from curl 'localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v'  
health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size  
yellow open logstash-2016.04.20 5 1 1 0 4.8kb 4.8kb  
yellow open .kibana 1 1 2 0 8.3kb 8.3kb

What configuration isn't working? Is the input CSV file older than 24 hours? If yes, look at the file input's `ignore_older` option.

I added a few line breaks at the end of my csv file and things got started. The index is getting created now.
