Hi,

I have a server where I have installed logstash. I am trying to forward a log windows using winlogbeat to a **_remote Elasticsearch server._**  
i specified the elasticserver's host address and ports in the output configurations.But I cannot see anything on kibana.

What config do I need to do to achieve this?

Many thanks!!!

What does your Logstash configuration look like? Have you looked in your Winlogbeat log file to see if it has problems sending to Logstash? Have you looked in your Logstash log file to see if it has problems sending to Elasticsearch?

Thanks for your reply!!  
my **logstash.conf** is:

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["@elasticserever:9200"]  
index =\> "win-log-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

I make sure that elasticsearch received logs from logstash.But i cannot see any log on kibana.

There an at-sign in your hostname?

How?

Have you tried using Elasticsearch's REST API to verify what, if anything, has ended up there?
