Hi , This is Mathan subramaniam Wintel Admin . I am a new using ELK . Before getting started with the ELK stack ,I have gone through the below mentioned links and videos . [http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/elkdownloads/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/elkdownloads/) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/webinars/elk-stack-devops-environment/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/webinars/elk-stack-devops-environment/) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/webinars/kibana-made-simple/?watch=1](http://www.elasticsearch.org/webinars/kibana-made-simple/?watch=1) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/) [http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.1/tutorials/getting-started-with-logstash](http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.1/tutorials/getting-started-with-logstash) * * * My goal : I am going to setup in my Infrastructure using Logstash to gather eventlogs of multiple Windows servers, and set up Kibana to visualize the gathered logs..... Before implementing in my infra , i am testing with 3 Windows servers . But logstash conf file is not supporting to visualize the logs in kibana . Here i have attached word document which i already followed the steps for implementing ELK moreover i have mentioned logstash config file . Kindly suggest me whether i am doing correctly or not . In order to get the appropriate output in kibana , Could you please suggest me what kind of changes i need to do ... 1. How to configure kibana json file depends upon our requirement . 2. I am not aware how to proceed further for visualising event logs using kibana Kindly help . Awaiting for response ...

It's not really a good idea to send word docs to the list, better to just put everything into a gist/pastebin/etc 🙂 You may want to send an email to the Logstash mailing list as you should really start troubleshooting there, making sure your config is correct and is actually sending data through to Elasticsearch as you are expecting. However you can check out a few visualisation plugins like ElasticHQ or kopf which will show you if anything has been indexed into ES.
