Hello I have a working elastic search on my server and i was checking to use Kibana for search stats but i am not sure if i must use also logstash to get this work... Any tutorials? Thank you ---

You do not `need` logstash unless you want to use logstash for ingestion of event data. We have beats which also send event data to Elasticsearch. See here for a webinar on kibana. [https://www.elastic.co/webinars/getting-started-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/getting-started-kibana) You will need to `PUT` some data into Elasticsearch before you can visually explore it, yes. ---

Thanks for your reply ! I don't need event data at the moment so i will go ahead with the elastic search and kibana direct integration... Any sample or info for the PUT data that i will need to provide? ---
