Elastic CSV Loader

This command line utility loads csv file into an elasticsearch index, using a provided yaml config file.

load-csv considerations:

• CSV files MUST include a header with field names
• Header field names will be used as elastic index fields
• A @timestamp and date fields will be added to all indexed docs
  • A date logic date could be forced through command parameter.
• Depending on elastic_index.data_format.parent_data_object value, all original csv header fields will be arranged under a data parent object.

Indexed data will use the same field names that

download-index considerations:

• If csv file is an existing file the download process will append data including headers
• You have to rename or delete previous csv file if you want to start fresh.

Dependencies

    https: "http://user:pass@proxy.url:8080"
  user: myuser
  password: mypassword
  apikey_id: myapikey  # apikeys auth takes precedence over user/password
  apikey_secret: myapikeysecret
  node: my.elastic.node
  schema: https
  port: 443
elastic_index:
  data_format:
    parent_data_object: true
