Hello, I managed to send my data to Elasticsearch via Logstash/Filebeat and the modules Plugin aknowledges that. ("Received data from this module") but how can I actually get from the Elasticsearch start page to the Analytics of my Log files? I want to get a Graph or something. EDIT: I want to add e.g. switch.log I then configure filebeat/modules.d/system.yml: var.paths: [/var/log/storage.log, /var/log/switch.log] Response: 2021-11-11T14:18:43.202+0100 INFO [input.harvester] log/harvester.go:309 Harvester started for file. {"input\_id": "", "source": "/var/log/switch.log", "state\_id": "native::1132729-64768", "finished": false, "os\_id": "1132729-64768", "old\_source": "/var/log/switch.log", "old\_finished": true, "old\_os\_id": "1132729-64768", "harvester\_id": ""} ---

If you are using modules, most of them come with pre-built dashboards you can use. ---

And where can I find these Dashboards and can I make them use only one Logfile x? I clicked through Observability and Analytics but I did not find what I was looking for.. ---

What bothers me is that I have to go to the add-data menu to select a module each time. The data is uploaded and should therefore be visible in another way than "add-data-\>check module-\>Received data from this module-\>Go to (x) Dashboards", right? ---

You should just be able to load the dashboard from the menu on the left in Kibana? ---

Oh, yes. But I guess that, if my requested Dashboard is not existing there, I will have to create a filter myself. Right? I can find the Linux System Dashboard, but thats it. ( My custom Log-Files are still not appearing) ---

If you are talking about a custom dashboard, then yes, you will need to create that. ---
