Not able to map csv file from logstash to kibana in Window - elasticsearch

Question

I'm trying to feed data in csv files into elastic search using logstash. My logsatsh config file looks like this:
input {
file {
path => "D:\Log Anlyser\data\cars.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "NUL"
}
}
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 => ["milage", "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:9200"]
index => ["cars-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"]
}
}
while firing this command for logstash in window : logstash -f cars.conf i am getting this:-
Sending Logstash logs to D:/Log_Anlyser/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties

Now While connecting to kibana(localhost:5601) i am not able to map the data. Getting this error:-
Unable to fetch mapping. Do you have indices matching the pattern?
Can you please help.

Answer 1

I got the problem. Mistake is very silly. Path of CSV file was wrong. Earlier path was path => "D:\Log Anlyser\data\cars.csv". Current Path is`
path => "D:/Log_Anlyser/data/cars.csv"
It will work

There might be few reasons - maybe the data is not reaching ES at all. you can check that by verifying the index exists, by running
GET es-url:9200/_cat/indices/cars*
If an index exists then you should be able to create the index pattern in Kibana.
If the index is missing then either Logstash is not reading the input file, or elasticsearch is not reachable. need to check logstash logs, and make sure data reaches ES.
