I was able to import a csv using filebeat to elastic cloud. I did the following: First i uploaded the csv to elastic in order to have the filebeat yml configuration. Then I modified the filebeat.yml and installed filebeat. The thing is that I have to upload a lot of csv's and I want to have this process automated. I don't want to repeat the same process for every different csv that i have. (Uploading to elastic, modifying the yml and reinstalling) Is there any solution? Thanks! ---

Adding more context, I have different CSVs on a Windows server/virtual machine that I need to send to Elastic Cloud. These CSVs are unique, and they are updated daily with new ones being generated regularly. I am looking to automate the ingestion process, exploring if there's a more efficient alternative to Filebeat. ---
