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!

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

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

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

Hi @matw
> [@jdcruz](#):

My thinking was my logstash.conf will pull the data("MY\_var\_path}/logs.log") and transfer to kibana.
logstash.conf file
````auto
input {
file {
type => "syslog"
path => "{MY_var_path}/logs.log"
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
index => "logstash-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}"
}
}
```
````

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
