Hi there, I just have a little question to manage following case: I have mega huge csv files which I consider to split to less big files in same folder due to the fact indexing big csv files may take 2 or 4 days of writing. What I want to know is best practice: Lets say: 1 big file = 4 days (no way) Ok lets split into 10 under path =\> "C:/Folder/Elastic/7.5.0/\*.csv" All using the same config file (so all ended in same index) What should I use to be fast and easy: a: logstash pipeline.yml ? b: filebeat ? c: 10 time logstash instances ? I'm familar with logstash and fielebeat and how to do set it up but I have no idea how to logstash pipeline may do this job as well or faster or even how to set up the logstash pipeline.yml!? Welcome yr suggestions Regards ---
