I'm trying to parse a CSV file using Logstash to ElasticSearch. The index cannot be found in Kibana, and Logstash claims the config file is 'ok'. I bet the problem is obvious, I just can't see it.
Can anyone help me debug this?
Thanks
Logstash config
```auto
input {
file {
path => "C:\ProgramData\FDA\output1\processed\domain.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "NUL"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => ","
columns => ["Disk Location", "Domain Name", "Url"]
}
mutate {convert => ["Disk Location", "integer"]}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
index => "domain"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
```
Output from cmd "logstash -f C:\ProgramData\FDA\logstash.conf"
```auto
:\ProgramData\FDA\logstash-7.0.0\logstash-7.0.0\bin>logstash -f C:\ProgramData\FDA\logstash.conf
Sending Logstash logs to C:/ProgramData/FDA/logstash-7.0.0/logstash-7.0.0/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties

Use forward slash in the file input path option.
