Welcome to this awesome community!

I think you want to have a look to Kibana: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.5/introduction.html

Using Kibana you can visualize and analyze your logs and rest of data, give it a try :wink:

Also I would recommend you to have a look to: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html,

It will show you how to do your first steps with filebeat & Kibana

Hi @exekias
Thank for fast reply
I already did the first steps and the result look like this


But now how can i visualize the field message in the result or create another template for filebeat to take the content in log files. That's what i want and i still stuck in this step, maybe because i cannot know right all the idea in the doc.
It would be great if you tell me where can i focus on. Ty

If I understand correctly you want to see only the message field, and not the whole document, you should have the list of fields on the left menu, just choose message to add it as a column, this way you will see the stream of messages

Hi @exekias
Sr for late reply and for not describe exactly what i want to do
The problem is i want to change the content of message into index, so i can choose what i want to visualize, with the picture i just post it's the example of content, maybe it'll be more field with the real log. That's exactly what i want to do.
Thank you btw :slight_smile:
