HI All, I am trying to load a CSV file into elastic by initializing logstash through the below command, .\bin\logstash -f C:\data\logstash\_cars.config But data is not transferred due to some reason. I am not able to see the data pipeline in the log as well. Could you advice on this. The below is the log file. **C:\logstash-6.0.1\>.\bin\logstash -f C:\data\logstash\_cars.config** Sending Logstash's logs to C:/logstash-6.0.1/logs which is now configured via lo g4j2.properties [2017-12-08T19:32:08,069][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module\_name=\>"fb\_apache", :directory=\>"C:/logstash-6.0.1/modules/fb\_apache/con figuration"} [2017-12-08T19:32:08,085][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module\_name=\>"netflow", :directory=\>"C:/logstash-6.0.1/modules/netflow/configu ration"} [2017-12-08T19:32:08,506][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2017-12-08T19:32:09,961][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600} [2017-12-08T19:32:15,033][ERROR][logstash.plugins.registry] Problems loading a p lugin with {:type=\>"filter", :name=\>"CSV", :path=\>"logstash/filters/CSV", :error \_message=\>"NameError", :error\_class=\>NameError, :error\_backtrace=\>["C:/logstash- 6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:226:in `namespace_lookup'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:162:in`legac y\_lookup'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:13 8:in `lookup'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.r b:180:in`lookup\_pipeline\_plugin'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstas h/plugin.rb:140:in `lookup'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipe line.rb:143:in`plugin'", "(eval):12:in `'", "org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:99 4:in`eval'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:82:in `i nitialize'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:215:in`i nitialize'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline\_action/creat e.rb:35:in `execute'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:33 5:in`block in converge\_state'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/a gent.rb:141:in `with_pipelines'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/ agent.rb:332:in`block in converge\_state'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1734:in `e ach'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:319:in`converge\_s tate'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:166:in `block in converge_state_and_update'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent .rb:141:in`with\_pipelines'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agen t.rb:164:in `converge_state_and_update'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/l ogstash/agent.rb:90:in`execute'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash /runner.rb:362:in `block in execute'", "C:/logstash-6.0.1/vendor/bundle/jruby/2. 3.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/task.rb:24:in`block in initialize'"]} [2017-12-08T19:32:15,120][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute ac tion {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, :exception=\>"L ogStash::PluginLoadingError", :message=\>"Couldn't find any filter plugin named ' CSV'.

In your config do you have filter { CSV { ... } } ? If so, change CSV to csv. If I try CSV I get that error message.. ---
