So, i want to send my CSV file in my laptop to elasticsearch to build a dashboard. I have configured the conf files and it success on my logstash, but the index not readable by elastic ? why ?

here's the logs "response: {"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"asum-2023.09.20", "\_id"=\>nil, "status"=\>404, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"index\_not\_found\_exception", "reason"=\>"no such index [asum-2023.09.20] and [action.auto\_create\_index] ([.monitoring\*,.watches,.triggered\_watches,.watcher-history\*,.ml\*]) doesn't match", "index\_uuid"=\>"_na_", "index"=\>"asum-2023.09.20"}}}"

Hi @Raffy_Revanza,

Welcome to the community! It might be that logstash doesn't have access to that index. Can you share your Logstash config?

Most likely the user raffyask doesn't have rights to create the index. Go to Kibana and add.
