Hi, this is my first time building a log control system, i have UiPath's RPA Platform installed and they recommend the use of Elasticsearch to store the logs and kibana to visualize them, so i installed everything (included Filebeat), i could see the logs but after running filebeat I could not see them anymore, nor could I generate custom dashboards (like pie charts). I'm missing some extra configuration? Where can i find
guides or examples?
Thanks

Are you talking about the actual logs which Filebeat is consuming?
> nor could I generate custom dashboards (like pie charts)
What are you doing to generate custom dashboards? Are you talking about using Kibana to create a visualization? What is preventing you from doing this?

Can you confirm if the data is being ingested into your Elasticsearch cluster? What do you see if you access `localhost:9200/_cat/indices?pretty&v` (update location to be your cluster)

Hi!
> Are you talking about the actual logs which Filebeat is consuming?
Yes i just update filebeat, elasticsearch and kibana to version 7.5.0.
> localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?pretty&v
in that link i can see the txt file that is attached to this email (indices.txt)
> Are you talking about using Kibana to create a visualization?
Exactly, i have logs generated by a web app (UiPath's Orchestrator) and stored in elasticsearch, i want to create custom dashboards but i can't because i can't see them yet.
> What are you doing to generate custom dashboards?
I followed the steps in [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html) and [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard-create-new-dashboard.html) but with no success.
> What is preventing you from doing this?
Maybe I lack knowledge about kibana or i have something misconfigured.
Thanks!
Kind regards
