Hello there!

I would like to index pptx documents.  
I install Elasticsarch and Ingest Attachment plugin. I've stored my document in a directory on local.  
Now I don't know how to import my directory as an input of Elasticsearch...

You need to transform your document to BASE64 then send that as a field in your json document.

```auto
PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description" : "Extract attachment information",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "attachment" : {
        "field" : "data"
      }
    }
  ]
}
PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=attachment
{
  "data": "YOUR BASE 64 content here"
}
GET my_index/_doc/my_id

```

Have also a look at [FSCrawler](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler#starting-with-a-rest-gateway) where you can do something like:

```auto
curl -F "file=@myfile.pptx" "http://127.0.0.1:8080/fscrawler/_upload"

```

Or just let it crawl your local dir.

I would like to use **open semantic search etl**. It could be an agent wich send my documents to Elasticsearch?
