Thank you

Hi and welcome to our community

seems this post is missing screenshots, or the screenshots are formatted as code, could you change that, so it would be easier to debug

many thx!
Matthias

Hi @matw
Here are the screenshot.

Hi

It should show non-system-indices that are available, but it seems you don't have any date in you cluster? Then there are also no indices available to select. Once you've got indices containing data you can create an index pattern

[jdcruz]

Hi @matw,

Thanks for that, i'm not sure about the date in cluster can you please provide me some example? Thanks in advance

[matw (Matthias Wilhelm)]

Sorry, was a typo, I meant : data in your cluster

[jdcruz]

Hi @matw

@jdcruz

path => "{MY_var_path}/logs.log"

My thinking was my logstash.conf will pull the data("MY_var_path}/logs.log") and transfer to kibana.

logstash.conf file

input {
  file {
    type => "syslog"
    path => "{MY_var_path}/logs.log"
  }
}

output {
  stdout {
    codec => rubydebug
  }
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
    index => "logstash-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}"
  }
}

```

[matw (Matthias Wilhelm)]

this is a valid approach, but according to you screenshot, local:9200/_cat/indices contains no data, just system indices. so you first have to check why no data is ingested into Elasticsearch

Best,
Matthias

Thanks @matw,

I will look on the logstash.conf file
