To get data in Discover and Dashboards you need to create a Data View for your index or set of indices.

Please take a look at the [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-concepts-analysts.html) page where you can get an overview of basic (but relevant!) Kibana concepts. In particular:

> [Accessing data with data views](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-concepts-analysts.html#_accessing_data_with_data_views)
> 
> Kibana requires a data view to tell it which Elasticsearch data you want to access, and whether the data is time-based. A data view can point to one or more Elasticsearch data streams, indices, or index aliases by name.
