Dear all,

i am uploading a csv file with the following code

input {
file {
path =>"C:/Users/welcome/Dropbox/IT_Department/ElasticSearchProjects/ResultAnalysis/Data/Semester*.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => ","
columns => [columns => ["CourseCode","CourseTitle","TotalRegistered","AttendFinalExam","TotalDebarred","Pass","Fail","A","AMinus","BPlus","B","BMinus","CPlus","C","CMinus","D","F","NoOFABGrades","NoOFCGrades","NoOFDFGrades","Level","Semester","Department"]
}
mutate {convert => ["TotalRegistered", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["AttendFinalExam", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["TotalDebarred", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["Pass", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["Fail", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["A", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["AMinus", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["BPlus", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["B", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["BMinus", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["CPlus", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["C", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["CMinus", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["D", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["F", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["NoOFABGrades", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["NoOFCGrades", "integer"] }
mutate {convert => ["NoOFDFGrades", "integer"] }
}
output {
elasticsearch {
user => admin
password => admin
hosts => "https://hadoop.hct.org"
index => "hctindex"

ssl_certificate_verification => false
cacert => "C:\Elastic\Elasticsearch\6.2.2\config\CN=hadoop.hct.org.crtfull.pem"
document_type => "resultanalysisdocument"
}
stdout {}
}

when i run this code, i receive the following error
