Hi, I am trying to analyse my data in Kibana , from a CSV file, however logstash is not sending the data to elasticsearch. Please find the screenshots for details. Can some one tell me where exactly I am going wrong? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/2/25c5bba1b362c1f60a9746b5b39001195a245cb3.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/3ba31dc4791acd1ca2f2612af2cfa4e865508a26.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/5/59761e15be711c71e1bb54e606cfe2a40de17c5d.png) and my config file for logstash, ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/1/1252d7e4dc26eb5827b5b68f86e5f48099ac04f6.png) ---

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂 Are you adding new data into the input file you have specified? Otherwise it will probably be [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html#plugins-inputs-file-sincedb\_path](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html#plugins-inputs-file-sincedb_path). Also, you don't need to put `action` in there. ---
