Overview

Takes in an Event and parses its CSV data into columns.

Option	Required	Type	Description
source	No	String	The field in the Event that will be parsed. Default is `message`.
quote_character	No	String	The character used as a text qualifier for a single column of data. Default is double quote `“`.
delimiter	No	String	The character separating each column. Default is `,`.
delete_header	No	Boolean	If specified, the header on the Event (`column_names_source_key`) deletes after the event is parsed. If there’s no header on the event, no actions is taken. Default is true.
column_names_source_key	No	String	The field in the Event that specifies the CSV column names, which will be autodetected. If there must be extra column names, the column names autogenerate according to their index. If `column_names` is also defined, the header in `column_names_source_key` can also be used to generate the event fields. If too few columns are specified in this field, the remaining column names autogenerate. If too many column names are specified in this field, the CSV processor omits the extra column names.
column_names	No	List	User-specified names for the CSV columns. Default is `[column1, column2, …, columnN]` if there are N columns of data in the CSV record and `column_names_source_key` is not defined. If `column_names_source_key` is defined, the header in `column_names_source_key` generates the Event fields. If too few columns are specified in this field, the remaining column names will autogenerate. If too many column names are specified in this field, CSV processor omits the extra column names.
