So i set up Kibana on my windows machine and I don't see the Time-field name option. is it not suppose to be there on the newest version?

FYI: I installed Elasticsearch, logstash and kibana on windows

I created a config file with some data in log stash and put it in the bin folder under logstash but it still wouldn't do anything..

filename is called logstash-simple.conf

The contents of the file are  
input { stdin { } }  
output {  
elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

You need to pipe something into `stdin` for it to work.  
See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/first-event.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/first-event.html)

Thanks!  
I made the changes and when i run the logstash.bat file it says  
"io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated ..."

I am not sure how to resolve this.
