type =\> "core2"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> ["Material","Batch","Plant","SLoc"]  
separator =\> ","  
}  
}

Hint: Post logs like this on pastebin or a similar service.

> {:timestamp=\>"2016-04-26T09:59:54.885000+0530", :message=\>"globbedfiles: C:\logstash\bin\saptest1.csv: glob is: ", :level=\>:debug, :file=\>"/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/filewatch-0.8.1/lib/filewatch/watch.rb", :line=\>"346", :method=\>"globbedfiles"}

This indicates that the filename pattern (well, it's not really a pattern but it's treated as such) C:\logstash\bin\saptest1.csv doesn't match any files. This typically indicates a typo or that Logstash doesn't have permissions to access one of the directories, but in this particular case I suspect the problem is that you're using backslashes instead of forward slashes. At least previous versions of Logstash has had problems with backslashes on Windows.

Adjust the `ignore_older` option if you want to read files older than 24 hours.

Thanks Magnus for that, it works

I am now trying to create index in ES with below conf

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:/logstash/bin/saptest1.csv"  
type =\> "core2"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
ignore\_older =\> 0  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> ["Material","Batch","Plant","SLoc"]  
separator =\> ","  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
action =\> "index"  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "sap"  
workers =\> 1  
}  
}

That's currently not possible. See below.

> The CSV filter should have an option to treat the first row as header. This woul…d be useful for using it as an ETL tool.
> 
> Additionally, it could then ignore all subsequent rows that have that same exact value (extra header rows)
