I'm running elasticsearch + kibana + nginx in a aws workspace right now from following **ONLY** steps three and four in [this tutorial](https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-elastic-stack-on-centos-7/). My goal is to get aws cloudwatch logs into elasticsearch/kibana but I'm not sure where to start as all this is new to me. Does elastic provide some tutorials/documentation that might get me going in the right direction?
