Hey all, I am trying new to Logstash and the ELK stack altogether and am trying to accomplish a simple task- reading data from a CSV file into elastic search via Logstash. I followed the tutorial and it seems as if Logstash is starting a pipeline with no errors, but it doesn't read the CSV file. Below is my config file: input{ file{ path =\> ["C:\toolkit\ELKstack\SamplData\SalesJan2009.csv"] start\_position =\> "beginning" sincedb\_path =\> "NUL" ignore\_older =\> 0 } } filter{ csv{ separator =\> "," columns =\>["TransactionID","Product","Payment\_Type","Name","City","State","Country"] } mutate{convert =\> ["TransactionID","integer"] } } output{ elasticsearch{ hosts =\> "127.0.0.1:9200" index =\> "customer" document\_type =\> "customer" document\_id =\> "%{id}" workers =\> 1 } stdout{} } This is what Logstash outputs: C:\toolkit\ELKstack\logstash-6.4.2\bin\>logstash -f C:\toolkit\ELKstack\logstash-6.4.2\config\samplCof.config Sending Logstash logs to C:/toolkit/ELKstack/logstash-6.4.2/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2018-10-12T11:35:20,929][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2018-10-12T11:35:21,471][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=\>"6.4.2"} [2018-10-12T11:35:23,890][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] You are using a deprecated config setting "document\_type" set in elasticsearch.
