Hi  
I'm trying to import CSV with Logstash.  
My config file looking like this:  
input{  
file{  
path=\>"/Users/office/Desktop/Elasticsearch data/ufo.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
}  
}   
filter{  
csv{  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\>["User\_Id","Age","Gender","Occupation","Zip\_Code"]

}  
#mutate{convert =\> ["User\_Id","interger"]}  
#mutate{convert =\> ["Age","interger"]}  
}  
output{  
elasticsearch{  
hosts=\>"[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"  
index=\>"ufo"  
document\_type =\> "found"  
}  
stdout{}  
}

I got this as answer from Logstash  
Sending Logstash's logs to C:/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties
