Hello,
Kibana is not showing anything from logstash, I can create an index but no data comes out.

Do you have data in ElasticSearch?

That's what I was asking myself, I guess I don't and I have no idea about Elasticsearch querying.

Kibana display graph of data are in ElasticSearch. Logstash match your data for elasticsearch. this is a very general answere i know but you should read something on web about Elasticsearch, Logstash and kibana. For more questions here we are.

There is data in Elasticsearch and it's valid data.

In your logstash config file do you set hosts?
Can you publish a copy of your config logstash file?

This is the output of my logstash config
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => localhost
index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
file {
path => "/var/log/logstash/log-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
}
}
```

Change hosts to something like this hosts =\> ["[https://127.0.0.1:9200](https://127.0.0.1:9200)"]

Doesn't change anything, the data gets in Elasticsearch, it just doesn't show in Kibana.
