I'd like to load a csv into Elastic using Logstash. This is the output of my run: / C:\Users...\Documents\logstash-6.3.1\logstash-6.3.1\bin\>logstash -f logstash\_rplim3.config Sending Logstash's logs to C:/Users/.../Documents/logstash-6.3.1/logstash-6.3.1/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2018-07-25T08:28:02,832][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2018-07-25T08:28:03,382][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=\>"6.3.1"} [2018-07-25T08:28:07,693][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Starting pipeline {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", "pipeline.workers"=\>4, "pipeline.batch.size"=\>125, "pip [2018-07-25T08:28:08,135][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Elasticsearch pool URLs updated {:changes=\>{:removed=\>[], :added=\>[[http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)]} [2018-07-25T08:28:08,146][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Running health check to see if an Elasticsearch connection is working {:healthcheck\_url=\>ht [2018-07-25T08:28:08,383][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Restored connection to ES instance {:url=\>"[http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)"} [2018-07-25T08:28:08,457][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] ES Output version determined {:es\_version=\>6} [2018-07-25T08:28:08,462][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Detected a 6.x and above cluster: the `type` event field won't be used to determine the doc [2018-07-25T08:28:08,483][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] New Elasticsearch output {:class=\>"LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch", :hosts=\>["[//localhost](https://localhost) [2018-07-25T08:28:08,498][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Using mapping template from {:path=\>nil} [2018-07-25T08:28:08,520][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Attempting to install template {:manage\_template=\>{"template"=\>"logstash-_", "version"=\>600 5s"}, "mappings"=\>{"default"=\>{"dynamic\_templates"=\>[{"message\_field"=\>{"path\_match"=\>"message", "match\_mapping\_type"=\>"string", "mapping"=\>{"type"=\>"text tch"=\>"_", "match\_mapping\_type"=\>"string", "mapping"=\>{"type"=\>"text", "norms"=\>false, "fields"=\>{"keyword"=\>{"type"=\>"keyword", "ignore\_above"=\>256}}}}}], }, "@version"=\>{"type"=\>"keyword"}, "geoip"=\>{"dynamic"=\>true, "properties"=\>{"ip"=\>{"type"=\>"ip"}, "location"=\>{"type"=\>"geo\_point"}, "latitude"=\>{"type"=\> loat"}}}}}}}} [2018-07-25T08:28:09,228][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started successfully {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\"} [2018-07-25T08:28:09,288][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>[]} [2018-07-25T08:28:09,605][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600} / This is top 3 lines of my csv: / "entity\_name","timestamp\_utc","headline","source\_name","provider\_id" "JPMorgan Chase & Co.","2018-07-12 10:03:56","Analyst at Peel Hunt Maintains Premier Oil PLC (LON:PMO)Stock Rating as a 'Buy'","Bibey Post","MRVR" "Fifth Third Bancorp","2018-07-12 10:03:56","Analyst at Peel Hunt Maintains Premier Oil PLC (LON:PMO)Stock Rating as a 'Buy'","Bibey Post","MRVR" / This is my config: /input { file { path =\> "C:\Users...\Documents\rplim.csv" start\_position =\> "beginning" } } filter { csv { separator =\> "," #quote\_char =\> """ columns =\> ["entity\_name", "timestamp\_utc", "headline", "source\_name","provider\_id"] } date { match =\> ["timestamp\_utc", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"] } } output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts =\> "localhost:9200" index =\> "rplim3" } } / What am I doing wrong? It looks like Logstash is stuck or waiting? ---

A file input is like "tail -f". It waits forever for new lines to get appended to the file. This looks normal to me. ---

Thank you Badger. I was about to say, do I need to use this flag then? C:\Users...\Documents\logstash-6.3.1\logstash-6.3.1\bin\>logstash -f logstash\_rplim3.config --config.reload.automatic ---

I don't understand "...NOTE: Use SIGHUP to manually reload the config. The default is false." said about the auto reload flag. Please explain how to manually reload the config? ---

SIGHUP is UNIX specific, there is no Windows equivalent that I know of. On Windows either use -r to automatically reload when the config changes, or restart logstash every time you change the configuration (which is expensive). ---
