Hello,  
i am new to ELK and i am managing to obtain graphs about Cisco ASA netflow.  
I followed this very effective guide:

My setup is as following:  
elasticsearch + logstash v.7.6.2  
kibana v.7.6.2-1  
latest version of elastiflow downloaded from [https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow.git](https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow.git)

The first problem i am facing is tht dashboards are looking for elastiflow-\* indexes, but in my elastic i have netflow-\*  
As a workaround, using kaizen, i copied netflow-\* to elastiflow-\*, but then it came out the second problem: dashboard were empty.

Any hint/suggestion will be really appreciated.

Thx

I'm not sure about kaizen, never worked with it.

but when you update the links, make sure these index-patterns actually exist:

go to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html)

Do you see an idnex-pattern with the name `elastiflow-*`?

Thank you for your answer. I found the root cause: i made a mistake in midifying pipelines configuration file by adding netflow pipe instead of elastiflow one....

Problem is solved!
