Which version of the filter do you have? Adding skip\_header was the most recent change in the filter.
```auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin list --verbose logstash-filter-csv
logstash-filter-csv (3.0.10)
```
If you have anything older than 3.0.10 you would need to upgrade.

Thanks @Badger
Yeah, I need to upgrade then. I use logstash-filter-csv (3.0.5)
