Hi there, I've noticed that mu Indexes aren't being added to Kibana anymore. I do have changed my Logstash conf files in the meantime. But still then I would only expect GROK parse failures and not my index to dissapear.. This is the config: input { udp { port =\> 5514 type =\> syslog } tcp { port =\> 5514 type =\> syslog } } filter { if [type] == "syslog" { grok { match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog\_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog\_hostname} %{DATA:syslog\_program}(?:[%{POSINT:syslog\_pid}])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog\_message}" } add\_field =\> ["received\_at", "%{@timestamp}"] add\_field =\> ["received\_from", "%{host}"] } date { match =\> ["syslog\_timestamp", "MMM d HH:mm:ss", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss"] } } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] index =\> "logstash-syslog" } stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } } ---

Hi @heskez, Can you verify the indices exist in Elasticsearch? Do you have appropriate index patterns setup within Kibana that match those Elasticsearch indices? If the data is in Elasticsearch, Kibana should be able to see it, but if the data is not in Elasticsearch, you might have issues on the Logstash side ---

Hi @chrisronline how can I verify the indices exist in Elasticsearch? ---

In Kibana, go to the Dev Tools page and run this query: ```auto GET _cat/indices ``` You should see the indices there if they exist in Elasticsearch. ---

Ah yea. It sounds like an issue elsewhere. Verify the data is coming into Logstash and then verify it's properly going to your Elasticsearch cluster. ---

Yes how? 🙂 [TCPDUMP shows incoming data on correct port] [Logstash/Elasticsearch/Kibana instances are running] [output debug logs look also good] ---

This one has been solved, it was a local firewall issue ---
