Hi, I'm new on the Elastic Stack.  
I try to load a cvs file on Elasticsearch using Logstash. I'm a Windows user.  
Thisi is my config file  
input {  
file {  
path =\> ["g:/file/articoli.cvs"]  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "nul"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\> ["art" , "cod"]  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "sample\_index"  
}  
stdout{ codec =\> rubydebug}  
}

The message that I received didn't contain any error, but Elasticsearch didn't show me any output!

I deleted the sincedb\_path file every time.  
I Hope someone can halp me...  
Chiara
