Hi All,  
I am new to ELK stack, i read multiple articles about the same issue , but none of them were able to solve my problem . This is the logging which i am getting after starting the logstash.  
Now i have a csv file of around 20-25 columns and 822 rows, but i am not able to send it . Can you please help !!!

What does your Logstash configuration file look like? Please read the file input documentation carefully and pay special attention to what's said about sincedb files.
