Hello Mate

I created database config file as below.

---

input {
stdin {
file {
path => "D:dev tools/data/cars.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"

    }

}
Filter {
		csv {
			separator => ","			
			columns => [ "maker",	"model",	"mileage",	"manufacture_year",	"engine_displacement",
						"engine_power",	"body_type",	"color_slug",	"stk_year",	"transmission",	"door_count",
						"seat_count",	"fuel_type", "date_created",	"date_last_seen",	"price_eur", ]
			
		}
		mutate {convert => ["mileage", "integer"] }
		mutate {convert => ["price_eur", "float"] }
		mutate {convert => ["engine_power", "integer"] }
		mutate {convert => ["door_count", "integer"] }
		mutate {convert => ["seat_count", "integer"] }
	}
	
		output {
			elasticsearch {
					hosts => "localhost"
					index => "cars"
					document_type => "sold_cars"
				}
				stdout{ }
				
	}
}

path => "D:dev tools/data/cars.csv"

Have you tried reading a file from a location that doesn't have a space in its name?

sincedb_path => “/dev/null”

On Windows, "/dev/null" needs to be "nul".

The error message seems pretty clear to me. Is there a logstash_cars.config in the current directory? If yes, what if you specify the absolute path to the file? It looks like it changes the current directory to the Logstash installation root directory.

Dear magnusbaeck

Thank you for quick reply

Now the error msg has changed as below after moving file to correct directory and little correction.

Thank you for your support

There is no error message. Logstash has started and the stdin input is waiting to receive something.
