Hy guys. Im sending some logs from a custom process using elasticsearch api interface. I can see logs at discover section. Now , I need to create a visualization for non technical personal. I dont need any graphs , just a basic log visualization , similar to graylog , with basic search function. Im googling but can not find hot to achieve it. Any idea would be wellcome. Im using kibana 7.9. Regards. Leandro. ---

Hi You could select the fields you want to have displayed, save the search: > **[Save a search | Kibana Guide \[7.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/save-open-search.html)** Then you can add this search to a dashboard. you could add multiple searches / processes on 1 dashboard, adding a search would then be applied to all widgets containing process data. Would that cover your use case? Best, Matthias ---

How are you running Kibana? Are you using Elastic's distribution? Elastic's kibana distribution contains a [logging application](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/master/monitor-logs.html) that makes it easy to view and search logs and is exactly what you are looking for. ---

Hi , It seems a nice tool but can not view my index info there. How should I setup it to show my index info ? I already set "settings -\> Index pattern for matching indices that contain log data and set hotspot , wich is my indes pattern but nothing happend". Thanks. ---

Are your logs in [Elastic Common Schema](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/index.html)? ---

Dear Nathan ... Im not using ECS , , I didnt know about it , now you mentioned I began reading about that. In my case , im loggin my hotspot activity , so , when user connects to hotspot I do something like this: ``` date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); $today = date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s").".000Z"; $endpoint = 'http://172.10.100.113:9200/hotspot/_doc/'; $params = array( 'name' => $name, 'mac' => $mac_address, 'code' => $code, 'customer' => $customer, 'dni' => $document, 'mail' => $mail, 'phone' => $phone, 'timestamp' => $today ); #$url = $endpoint . '?' . http_build_query($params); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($params)); curl_exec($ch); ``` Im not sure how to move my scenario to ECS. I have been googling but could not find similar example, can you suggest ? BTW , thank you very much for pointing me about ECS , I consider this is a very important piece on elk. Leandro. ---
