Hi Team,

I am trying to read csv file and storing it in elasticsearch.  
Is there any way to read column from file itself (header of csv file ) in logstash "csv filter plugins". currently I am manually setting up the column name.

logstash config I am using:

filter {  
csv {  
source =\> "message"  
separator =\> ","  
skip\_header =\> "true"  
columns =\> ["identity/LineItemId", "identity/TimeInterval", "bill/InvoiceId", "bill/InvoicingEntity", "bill/BillingEntity", "bill/BillType", "bill/PayerAccountId"] }  
mutate {remove\_field =\> ["event", "message"]}  
}

Add to

```auto
csv{...
        autodetect_column_names => true
        autogenerate_column_names => true
...
}

```
