@orhantoy- the document count isn't updating even after adding / deleting document and is far lesser than the actual number of documents indexed.

PS: Could this be because of misconfigured filebeat? I've created another discussion: [Unable to view Analytics and API Logs : Is Filebeat running well?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-view-analytics-and-api-logs-is-filebeat-running-well/214075)
