In kibana pattern index not matching. When I am trying to connect to Kibana through port:5601 , it is showing kibana web page but non of the index is matching . As I am using logstash so index pattern I am giving is logstash-\* . it is throwing index pattern not matching. How do I proceed further? ---

I'd start by checking elasticsearch directly to confirm that the indices exist. Can you try requesting `localhost:9200/_cat/indices` from elasticsearch and looking for the expected names? ---

Okay, elasticsearch is telling us that no logstash indices exist. Next steps would be to check the logstash logs for any configuration errors, and to verify the service is running properly. Logs will be stored in either /var/log/logstash or the logs folder in the logstash extraction. ---

The first log looks fine, it was able to connect to elasticsearch and add a template. The second log looks like an intentional stoppage of logstash, which is also fine. Can you verify that logstash is getting events? One option is to log events to stdout as they come in: ```auto output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } } ``` If nothing shows up I would try manually sending an event using netcat or similar. ---
