Hi All, I have been working on vendor project helping analyze log data. We have currently setup graylog server for our log management but feel restricted with visualizing some of these data. We were wondering if we could use Kibana for visualization and needed some guidance on how to transfer data Graylog to Logstash as this would be the road to using Kibana. Thanks, Appreciate all your help ---

Graylog stores its data in Elasticsearch. Unless you need to further process the data stored, you should just be able to use Kibana on it as-is, no Logstash necessary. ---
