Hi, I am new to Data Analytics and trying to do a POC for one of our clients using ELK. My Kibana and Elastic Search servers are working fine and using the command bin/logstash -r -f /Users/gitika.dua/Documents/Data\_Analytics/logstash-7.0.0/bin/logstash\_demo.config my logstash server is also running. However, below is the error which I am getting and my csv data is not been able to pipelined in ElasticSearch: Sending Logstash logs to /Users/gitika.dua/Documents/Data\_Analytics/logstash-7.0.0/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2019-04-23T11:07:49,439][INFO][logstash.javapipeline] Pipeline started {"pipeline.id"=\>"main"} [2019-04-23T11:07:49,472][INFO][filewatch.observingtail] START, creating Discoverer, Watch with file and sincedb collections [2019-04-23T11:07:49,497][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>} [2019-04-23T11:07:49,510][ERROR][logstash.javapipeline] A plugin had an unrecoverable error.
