What is the best way for loading multiple csv files to different indexes from one config file ?

Hello @rp12,
this is nothing I would have done before but as no one else has replied I will describe how I would attempt to do this.
I would probably start with Filebeat and see how far I would get using it.
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/decode-csv-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/decode-csv-fields.html)
You could ingest directly to Elasticsearch [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/elasticsearch-output.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/elasticsearch-output.html)
Set `index` as `%{[csv_file_name]}` (could get tricky with path delimiters) or a filed name if you have something like that on which you could determine to which index the document should go.
Logstash does have a [CSV filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html) as well. You could use a file input using a glob pattern to pick up several CSV files and on the output again use a field name (or what ever could identify a single file) as part of the index name.
My Logstash output looks like this. Maybe it can give you some ideas
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["10.1.1.1:9200"]
index => "%{[@metadata][log_prefix]}-%{[@metadata][index]}-%{[@metadata][date]}"
}
}
```
