Filebeat messages to hide in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Current Setup:

sending logs via 40 instances to centralized logstast server. Currently logstash handles all the groks and inserts data to ES.

Requirement looking for:

In our application logs, we have different log_levels. For example i don't want to see DEBUG log level messages in KIBANA. How efficiently can we achieve this; log level is not at the start of the line it. So i'm not sure it can be handled in filebeat (exclude_lines).

Any other suggestion so that i don't show DEBUG logs in kinana.

ELK Stack Version:

elasticsearch-2.1.1,logstash-2.1.1, kibana-4.3.1-linux-x64, and filebeat-1.2.0-1.x86_64

In kibana, DEBUG logs aren't shown by default. Vy default there is logging to stdout. However, you can set the log levels in kibana.yml

logging.silent:     Default: false     Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output.
logging.quiet:      Default: false     Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output other than error messages.
logging.verbose:    Default: false     Set the value of this setting to true to log all events, including system usage information and all requests.
