Hello,

Hoping someone can provide some insight and/or pointers towards next steps for diagnosis.

Short version: Kibana4 dashboard isn't showing data for a new index despite data existing within the index

Longer version:

A few brief details

Kibana 4.1.2  
ELK 1.7.3

I've created a new index (logstash\_netflow-YYYY.MM.DD) - relevant snippet from logstash here

> output {  
> if [type] == "netflow"  
> {  
> elasticsearch {  
> host =\> "localhost"  
> port =\> "9300"  
> cluster =\> "SecELKCluster"  
> index =\> "logstash-netflow-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> }  
> } else {

I've verified this index is being created, and populated with data by visiting elk

hxxps://z.x.y.z/elasticsearch/logstash-netflow-2015.12.03/\_search?pretty

returns expected data & hits (including index name as expected)

> {  
> "took" : 1404,  
> "timed\_out" : false,  
> "\_shards" : {  
> "total" : 16,  
> "successful" : 16,  
> "failed" : 0  
> },  
> "hits" : {  
> "total" : 54117,  
> \*\* snip \*\* }

Within Kibana4, i've defined the new index - which has correctly populated the fields. However try as I might - I cannot get Kibana4 to return any results against this index when selecting it in discover.

Steps tried so far:

- Deleting/Recreating the index and re-populating the kibana4 index settings

- Verified data is populated within the ELK index for the time-frame specificed

- @timestamp is being used and i've checked this is populated

- Removed the custom index template (which just mapped netflow types correctly) and let it auto-detect

- Captured the query kibana4 is doing via chrome and replicating with curl - its definitely returning no hits

any thoughts/steps highly appreciated : -)

You have the right time range picked in Discovery?
