**My issue is that** I cannot see the index log message from kibana.  
**Here is version I am using:** All of them are installed on the same virtual machine.  
CentOS 7  
Oracle JDK 8  
Kibana 4.5.2  
Elaticsearch 2.3.4  
logstash 2.3.4  
filebeat 1.2.3

**my logstash config file is like:**  
input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}  
filter {  
.........  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch{}  
stdout{  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

I can see pretty json is printed out in log /var/log/logstash/logstash.stdout.  
But I cannot see any info in Kibana, and index was created and worked fine yesterday. I checked all those service is running, And didn't find any error message in either logstash.log or elasticsearch.log.

How can I do troubleshooting for this?

Try running with verbose enabled to see if anything else shows up.

how to 'run with verbose enabled'? I can run it manually and see the json print out. But there is no error message.

I think i have a similar issue , my stack is also the same but not sure of the versions. What i have seen is though all the services are show as running the logstash log shows logstash pipeline shutdown.
