Have you added the index pattern?

Go to Management, select Index Patterns and click Add New.

You will want to provide the index pattern which the logs were indexed to. You can a list of indexes by using the cat API of Elasticsearch. For example: http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices

Logstash defaults to creating index patterns beginning with logstash-, so your index pattern would be logstash-*
