Hello i am creating a config file to import the data from a csv file.
when i call the config file as it is, its working properly and data is coming in kibana.
But when i am changing the data type of a field in logstash config file its not working.
Below is the config file format:
input {
```
file {
path => "C:/elk/user.csv"
start_position => beginning
sincedb_path => "Null"
}
```
}
filter {
```
csv {
columns => [
"customerid",
"installationid",
"stageid",
"serviceid" ,
"time",
"active",
"blocked",
"created"
]
separator => ","
mutate {convert => ["active" , "integer"]}
mutate {convert => ["blocked" , "integer"]}
mutate {convert => ["created" , "integer"]}
}
```
}
output {
```
stdout
{
codec => rubydebug
}
elasticsearch {
action => "index"
hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
index => "usertest"
}
```
}
> Please tell me what is wrong with this.
> thanks in advance

What does "not working" mean? What behaviour are you expecting? What behaviour are you seeing? Are there any error messages?
You need to put the work in to describe your problem as clearly and concisely as possible.
