I have ELk 6.4 setup in centos 7 and installed filebeat in one server where my nginx server is running. I copied a log file from another server of previous date and how to pass this log file to logstash. I am unable to find the logs in kibana. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

If you are trying to go from File Beat-\>Logstash-\>Elasticsearch (view in Kibana). You will want to look at :

- Filebeat, Logstash output - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/logstash-output.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/logstash-output.html)
- Logstash, Beats input - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html)
- Logstash, Elasticsearch output - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html)
