## Add your filters / logstash plugins configuration here
filter {

output {
	elasticsearch {

Hello @Gowtham_Gandham ,  
As I can see you haven't mentioned the csv name. I can see 2 mistakes in your conf file.

1. Please provide the name of csv file,
2. Please include csv codec in your output stdout.  
also you don't need to mention action
