I think you should be using Kibana 4.5 with ES 2.3, so that might be part of the problem. Have not used that old version in a very long time though, so will not be able to help much more than that.

Thank you christian, Will test with Kibana 4.5
Also please let me know which logstash version needs to be used with ES 2.3

Those versions are quite old and have been unsupported for quite a while, so I do not remember. I would recommend looking at the support matrix for this. I would also recommend upgrading.
