# Recipe Csv To Treasure Data

Looking to get data out of csv into treasure data? You can do that with [fluentd](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-docs-gitbook/tree/507e377b7e8e78a312dc49e76bd9a302c33fd058/fluentd.org) in **10 minutes**!

Here is how:

```
$ gem install fluentd
$ gem install fluent-plugin-td
$ touch fluentd.conf
```

`fluentd.conf` should look like this (just copy and paste this into fluentd.conf):

```
<source>
  @type tail
  path /var/log/httpd-access.log #...or where you placed your Apache access log
  pos_file /var/log/td-agent/httpd-access.log.pos # This is where you record file position
  tag foobar.csv #fluentd tag!
  format csv
  keys key1, key2, key3 # e.g., user_id, timestamp, action
  time_key key2 # Specify the column that you want to use as timestamp
</source>

<match **>
  @type tdlog
  apikey <Treasure Data API key> # You get your API key by signing up for Treasure Data
  auto_create_table
  buffer_type file
  buffer_path /var/log/td-agent/buffer/td
</match>
```

After that, you can start fluentd and everything should work:

```
$ fluentd -c fluentd.conf
```

Of course, this is just a quick example. If you are thinking of running fluentd in production, consider using [td-agent](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-docs-gitbook/tree/507e377b7e8e78a312dc49e76bd9a302c33fd058/articles/td-agent.md), the enterprise version of Fluentd packaged and maintained by [Treasure Data, Inc.](https://www.treasure-data.com).
