It's a question for #kibana group now.  
Anyway, you basically need to configure an index pattern first then you should see that in discover panel.

If you are just starting with Kibana, you might want to read: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index.html)
