Hello,  
I begin with logstash and ElasticSearch and I would like to index .pdf or .doc file type in ElasticSearch via logstash.  
I configured logstash using the codec multiline to get my file in a single message in ElasticSearch . Below is my configuration file:

input {  
file {  
path =\> "D:/BaseCV/\*"  
codec =\> multiline {  
# Grok pattern names are valid! 🙂  
pattern =\> ""  
what =\> "previous"  
}

```
     }

```

}

output {  
stdout {  
codec =\> "rubydebug"  
}  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "cvindex"  
document\_type =\> "file"  
}  
}

At the start of logstash the first file I add , I recovered in ElasticSearch in one message , but the following are spread over several messages. I wish I had the correspondence : 1 file = 1 message.  
Is this possible ? What should I change my setup to solve the problem ?  
Thank you for your feedback.

Log stash does not support indexing of PDF and Word documents. For this instead look at the [mapper attachment plugin for Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper.html).

Thanks for your answer.  
The plugin map attachment is already installed on my version 1.7.2 ElasticSearch, and I managed to index documents in ElasticSearch, but not always in a single message.
