</div>

two csv files are

hotel.csv  
hotelcode,hotelname,citycode

CountryCityLive.csv  
citycode,CityName,CountryRegionCode,CountryCode

taking all columns from hotel.csv and from CountryCityLive.csv only take CountryRegionCode.

translate {  
destination =\> "[@metadata][citycode]"  
dictionary\_path =\> "/home/namalie/elk/travco/data/CountryCityLive.csv"  
field =\> "citycode" }  
dissect { mapping =\> { "[@metadata][citycode]" =\> "%{CountryRegionCode}" }}

But in data transferred in index has cityname data for CountryRegionCode.

and also following code not working if I want index with CityName and CountryRegionCode both

translate {  
destination =\> "[@metadata][citycode]"  
dictionary\_path =\> "/home/namalie/elk/travco/data/CountryCityLive1.csv"  
field =\> "citycode" }  
dissect { mapping =\> { "[@metadata][citycode]" =\> "%{CityName};%{CountryRegionCode}" }}

If the logs are coming in line-by-line, and we can be sure of the number of values each time, we could probably also just use a dissect?

Eg:

```
input{...}
filter {
    dissect {
        mapping => {
            "message" => "%{citycode},%{CityName},%{CountryRegionCode},%{CountryCode}"
        }
    }
}

```

If you are definitely going to remove the other fields, and will never care about CountryRegionCode, we could also accumulate the useless fields:

```
input{...}
filter {
    dissect {
        mapping => {
            "message" => "%{useless},%{+useless},%{CountryRegionCode},%{+useless}"
        }
    }
    mutate {
        remove_field => ["useless"]
    }
}
```

You don't need to accumlate them, just don't name them.

```
"message" => "%{},%{},%{CountryRegionCode},%{}"

```

tried both but given solution didn't work  
1)  
translate {  
destination =\> "[@metadata][statecode]"  
dictionary\_path =\> "/home/namalie/elk/travco/data/CountryCityLive1.csv"  
field =\> "citycode" }  
dissect { mapping =\> { "[@metadata][statecode]" =\> "%{useless},%{+useless},%{CountryRegionCode},%{+useless}" }}

didn't get anything

1. 

translate {  
destination =\> "[@metadata][statecode]"  
dictionary\_path =\> "/home/namalie/elk/travco/data/CountryCityLive1.csv"  
field =\> "citycode" }  
dissect { mapping =\> { "message" =\> "%{},%{CityName},%{CountryRegionCode},%{}" }}

got fields as CityName and CountryRegionCode but the data are wrong from some other csv

1. 

translate {  
destination =\> "[@metadata][statecode]"  
dictionary\_path =\> "/home/namalie/elk/travco/data/CountryCityLive1.csv"  
field =\> "citycode" }  
dissect { mapping =\> { "[@metadata][statecode]" =\> "%{useless},%{CityName},%{CountryRegionCode},%{+useless}" }}

didn't get anything
