And how are you starting Logstash? What does logstash.yml contain? **Format the file's contents as preformatted text with the `</>` toolbar button.**

If you don't use any filters Logstash will just read the lines from the files one by one and create events from them. That way you can display them in Kibana (they will be timestamped with the time the file was read) but you won't get additional fields extracted from interesting parts of the line so filtering and aggregation won't be so easy.
