Assuming you have already configured Filebeat and indexed some data into Elasticsearch, then in Kibana click on Settings, click on Indicies, change the "Index name or pattern" field from "logstash-_" to "filebeat-_". Then Kibana should auto-detect the "Time-field name". Make sure "@timestamp" is selected then click "Create".
