Hello Everyone,

My name is Algy, who is still inexperienced with ELK. I really need your help.  
I was able to install the whole ELK, but now I would like to be able to generate log graphics that are easy to interpret.  
I installed ELK in order to get specific logs, such as access number to the service, source of the user that is using the service, including possible errors that may occur with the service.  
I would like to know how I can do this, at the moment Kibana can get the service logs, but I still can not interpret them. Please help me to overcome this obstacle.

Best regards  
Adamo, A.

You can use the Visualize app to create visualizations that can provide insight to your logs. See [Creating a visualization](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.7/createvis.html) for instructions
