SO I have had an ELK setup running nicely for some time. Sending logs files with filebeats from various servers. Now I want to extend this to heartbeat. Installed the software. configure the heartbeat.yml and started the service. The log file shows data being sent as required 2017-03-13T15:57:54+01:00 INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: libbeat.publisher.published\_events=6 libbeat.e However nothing visible in kibana. What should I be searching for ??? ---

have you checked the heartbeat index being available? In browser try `http:///_cat/indices`. You need to select the heartbeat index pattern in kibana. ---
