Hi Friends,

I installed Kibana, elasticsearch, logstash on one server and installed filebeat on other server. there is no error while installing logstash or filebeat or kibana, elasticsearch, But there is no data is coming to Kibana.

How can I found that whether connection between Filebeat and logstash established or not?

First I suspect logstash, but I can read file thorough logstash, it clears me that logstash is working perfectly.

Is there any procedure to find whether filebeat is sending data to logstash or not.  
do you have any Idea.

thanks for Anticipation.

Start by increasing the log level of Filebeat and see what it says.
