Could you please post the following information here?

1. Which version of Filebeat and Kibana are you running?

2. Your complete `filebeat.yml` file, enclosed in ``` (so formatting/indentation is preserved correctly). Please make sure to redact any sensitive information before posting.

3. What commands have you run after installing Filebeat?

4. Are there any errors or warnings in the Filebeat log? If so, please post those lines here as well, again enclosed in ```.

@Deepa1 can you check if new indices created by Filebeat are present in Elasticsearch by running:  
GET \_cat/indices/${your\_index\_pattern\_from\_filebeat}

If you see your indices, then you can just create the index pattern in Kibana -\> Management -\> Index Patterns.
