Hi Team,

Could you please share me how we can ingest json files to a Elasticsearch Index.

Thanks,

You can build a shell script which reads every file and add the content to a bulk request and then send the bulk request to Elasticsearch.

FSCrawler also supports json files. See [Local FS settings — FSCrawler 2.10-SNAPSHOT documentation](https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/fs/local-fs.html#indexing-json-docs)

And you can do that with Logstash and filebeat.

@dadoonet As I am bit familiar with filebeat. Could you please help me how we can achieve through filebeat.

Thanks,

Have a look at this: [filestream input | Filebeat Reference [8.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-filestream.html#filebeat-input-filestream-ndjson)

This might work. But I never used it myself.
