Well it depends on the type of files he wants to index. I guess he is looking for PDF, oOo… I agree with Mark. If you are indexing CSV, JSON files, prefer Logstash. Hopefully in the future Logstash will be able to do it as well for other file types. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr [https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) | @scrutmydocs [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > Le 20 févr. 2015 à 10:35, Mark Walkom [markwalkom@gmail.com](mailto:markwalkom@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Or logstash 🙂 > > On 20 February 2015 at 18:55, David Pilato \<[david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) [mailto:david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr)\> wrote: > You could give a look at FSRiver plugin.
