I'm newbie to Elasticsearch,
Am little bit confused on the Workflow of ELK stack.
Installed ELK stack. LOG-FORWARDER not sending data to Elasticsearch
server. Kibana not loading. I think, Once log-forwarder workers kibana will
show the graphs.
Kindly any one help me with the complete guide.
Thanks in advance

Your question is too broad and open-ended. Why aren't the logs being
sent to Elasticsearch? What type of logs are you trying to send? What's
your overall setup? Are you using logstash-forwarder or Logstash? Which
versions? Kibana 3 or Kibana 4?
Logstash has a getting started guide (below) and I'm sure there are many
blog posts that explain things with slightly different perspectives.

So... what happens? Is logstash-forwarder able to ship any logs? If not,
what do the logs say? If Logstash is receiving messages, are they sent
to Elasticsearch as expected? If not, what's in the Logstash logs?
I think you'll find that mailing lists work best when you ask specific
questions. Open-ended questions where the nature of the problem is
unclear tends to be ignored by people. They don't want to play a round
of 20 questions.
