I'm trying to input csv file into elasticsearch, however before going there, I'd like to display data on screen first, yet when I attempt to run logstash, I'm getting an error and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong...

```
$ cat ./etc/logstash/conf.d/* | grep -v \#

input {
  file {
    path => "/root/us_postal_codes.csv"
  }
}

filter {
  csv {
    columns => ["Postal Code","Place Name","State","State Abbreviation","County","Latitude","Longitude",""]
  }
}

output {
  stdout {codec => rubydebug}
}
$  

```

&

full output of [docker-compose up](http://pastebin.com/9GrB9sxj), but to narrow it down, logs keeps repeating itself with these:

```

```

... needless to say, file is static and is not growing as logstash suggests ...

Please advise...

I corrected that error myself, however still thank you for trying to help me out)

I also updated my question with different issue that I'm encounter at the moment, if you could take a look at it, I'd much appreciate it)

Thanks again!
