Hi everyone, I am a new learner to the ELK stack  
Here is my logstash conf file:  
input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\Users\umutc\Desktop\kibanaproject\organisations.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "NUL"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\>  
["Index","Organization\_Id","Name","Website","Country","Description","Founded","Industry","Number\_of\_employees"]  
}  
date {  
match =\> ["Founded","YYYY"]  
target =\> "Founded"  
}  
mutate {convert =\> ["Index", "integer"]}  
mutate {convert =\> ["Number\_of\_employees", "integer"]}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]

```
  ssl_certificate_verification => false
  
  user => "elastic"
  
  password => "password"
  
  index => "organisations"

```

}  
stdout {codec =\> json\_lines }  
}

Here is what my csv file looks like:

Problem solved: "C:\Users\umutc\Desktop\kibanaproject\organisations.csv"  
I should have made all these slashes laid the opposite way...

Maybe is useful...  
If you have the added header, then you don't need to set column names. Also set `pipeline.workers: 1` in logstash.yml

```auto
  csv {
    separator => ","
    autodetect_column_names => true
    skip_header => false
  }

```

Also rubydebug is more useful to display the output on the screen.  
` stdout { codec => rubydebug }`
