Getting started - Kibana - ElasticSearch - logstash

Hello,

I have different json files which I would like to visualize into Kibana after ingesting them to Elasticsearch.

Where can I get started and do I need to define input/output filters?

You can also use FSCrawler. It has a mode for this: Local FS settings — FSCrawler 2.10-SNAPSHOT documentation

HTH.

@dadoonet , Should I look at "FSCrawler" as an alternative to logstash?

If it's just for testing purposes, you can try fscrawler as I think it's easy to get it up and running for this use case.

Otherwise yes you might be able to use Logstash.
