I want to search my data populated in ELK(Windows logs) against the contents of a csv file. I have a large data of windows event logs that i want to search for Malware IoCs IPs, exes which are stored in a csv file. How can i use that csv file to search its values against my elk database? Can anybody give me some referees to relevant document which might help me get the required output. ---

There currently isn't a way in Kibana to accomplish this. You could write a simple program to create an [Elasticsearch query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-filter-context.html) based on a CSV file and query Elasticsearch directly. ---
