Hi, I am new in Elasticsearch.

I am trying to upload a log file into elasticsearch by using data visualizer.

However, I ran to some error like below:

Welcome to our community! 😃

Can you provide an example of what the log looks like?

Thanks. Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

Can you post an excerpt so we can test it out?

Ok, you might want to override the settings and apply a grok filter.

It might also be worth raising an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new/choose), as this is still considered experimental.

Thank you. I just read the article about this:

> **[Import CSV and Log Data into Elasticsearch from Kibana with File Data Visualizer](https://www.elastic.co/blog/importing-csv-and-log-data-into-elasticsearch-with-file-data-visualizer)**
>
> With the File Data Visualizer, it's never been easier to import CSV, NDJSON, and semi-structured text (like log files) into Elasticsearch directly from Kibana.

Is there any template or structure I need to follow. As I think I only need a few data from it
