Hi,  
What version did you install?  
What operating system did you install on?  
Are you seeing the error message in Kibana?

I think the first thing to check is if your filebeat configuration is loading your local log file into Elasticsearch. You can check your indices with something like this in your browser;  
`http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v`

If you have some document count for your filebeat index, the next step would be to create an index pattern in Kibana for it. Did you already do that?

Regards,  
Lee

I'm so sorry I lost track of this issue. Did you get it resolved? If not, I can try to help you.

Did you check [http://172.16.0.10:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://172.16.0.10:9200/_cat/indices?v) and did that show you have documents in that index?

If not, you can add a debug output block to your logstash config to help see what the problem is. It would look like this;

```auto
output {
  stdout {
    codec => rubydebug
  }
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["172.16.0.10:9200"]
    index => "accounts"
  }
}

```
