i m new to ELK, been trying to work on system log file, i have tried running it on logstash with a simple config file first to look it up on kibana and then later start with filters to further parse and take out something meaningfull but although this commands works fine on logstash l"logstash -f sample\_logstash.conf" but when i try to look it up on kibana with the index created in conf file it does not reflects on kibana and i am clueless for which direction to look into.
