Hi Mark,
I am new to ELK, so I just installed below software in Linux RedHat machine:
Java, Elasticsearch, Logstash (RPM packages) & Kibana (Untar the TAR bundle)
Started all process with sample logstash conf file.
Do I miss anything? What is meaning of Data in cluster?
Please guide me or share me any doc which helps me
Thanks in advance
Adarsha

Kibana can only display something if there is data in ES.
Take a look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html)

It's not hanging, if you have processed that file before then look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html#plugins-inputs-file-sincedb\_path](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html#plugins-inputs-file-sincedb_path)
