Hello community!

I have recently discovered o365 module for Filebeat ([Office 365 module | Filebeat Reference [8.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-o365.html)).  
My question is: **is it possible to use it for offline data?**  
I'm interested to have it since it's parse data in ECS and also I would love to use its dashboard.  
Offline data for me means - export UAL logs from [https://compliance.microsoft.com/](https://compliance.microsoft.com/) in CSV and use Filebeat to grab it and import to Elastic stack. I'm not interested in monitoring live data rather I want to work on data I actually need.

Thanks in advance!

If you will manually transfer logs from your location to FB like a dedicated directory, then FB will process in the service mode or only run FB when you copy logs.  
Since you have logs in CSV format, you can [directly do it in Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/blog/importing-csv-and-log-data-into-elasticsearch-with-file-data-visualizer).
