Hi,

Is there a way to parse multiple CSV files of different headers using logstash.

EG:

1. Post a csv file using curl command

curl -XPOST '[http://10.197.37.94:31311](http://10.197.37.94:31311)' --data-binary @mycsv.csv -H 'Content-type:text/csv; charset=utf-8'

**mycsv.csv**  
date,Hostname,procesName,processId  
1522770001,10.12.13.13,service1,1068  
1522770601,10.12.13.13,service1,1068

**Expected out put to store in Elastic search**  
{  
{  
"date": 1522770001,  
"vcName": "10.12.13.13",  
"procesName": "service1",  
"processId": 1068  
},  
{  
"date": 1522770601,  
"vcName": "10.12.13.13",  
"procesName": "service1",  
"processId": 1068  
}  
}

1. Post second csv file with different header using curl command

curl -XPOST '[http://10.197.37.94:31311](http://10.197.37.94:31311)' --data-binary @mycsv1.csv -H 'Content-type:text/csv; charset=utf-8'

**mycsv1.csv**  
date,Hostname,service,cpu,memory,disk  
1522770001,10.12.13.13,service1,1068,1,30  
1522770601,10.12.13.13,service2,1068,2,50

**Expected out put to store in Elastic search**  
{  
"date": 1522770001,  
"Hostname": "10.12.13.13",  
"service": "service1",  
"cpu": 1068,  
"memory": 1,  
"disk": 30  
},  
{  
"date": 1522770601,  
"Hostname": "10.12.13.13",  
"service": "service2",  
"cpu": 1068,  
"memory": 2,  
"disk": 50  
}

Thanks in advance
