hi everyone i try to see the logs from pfsense in kibana but i think i miss something with the configuration files, i cant find the index logstash-\* on kibana maybe someone can help with that?  
this is the first file :

#tcp syslog stream via 5140  
input {  
tcp {  
type =\> "syslog"  
port =\> 5140  
}  
}  
#udp syslogs stream via 5044  
input {  
udp {  
type =\> "syslog"  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}

the second file :  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> localhost  
index =\> "logstash -% {+ YYYY.MM.dd}"}

# stdout {codec =\> rubydebug}

```
          } 
   }

```

the third file :  
filter {  
if [type] == "syslog" {  
#change to pfSense ip address  
if [host] =~ /192.168.1.1/ {  
mutate {  
add\_tag =\> ["PFSense", "Ready"]  
}  
}  
if "Ready" not in [tags] {  
mutate {  
add\_tag =\> ["syslog"]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
filter {  
if [type] == "syslog" {  
mutate {  
remove\_tag =\> "Ready"  
}  
}  
}  
filter {  
if "syslog" in [tags] {  
grok {  
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog\_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog\_hostname} %{DATA:syslog\_program}(?:[%{POSINT:syslog\_pid}])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog\_message}" }  
add\_field =\> ["received\_at", "%{@timestamp}"]  
add\_field =\> ["received\_from", "%{host}"]  
}  
syslog\_pri { }  
date {  
match =\> ["syslog\_timestamp", "MMM d HH:mm:ss", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss"]  
locale =\> "en"  
}  
if !("\_grokparsefailure" in [tags]) {  
mutate {  
replace =\> ["@source\_host", "%{syslog\_hostname}"]  
replace =\> ["@message", "%{syslog\_message}"]  
}  
}  
mutate {  
remove\_field =\> ["syslog\_hostname", "syslog\_message", "syslog\_timestamp"]  
}

# if "\_grokparsefailure" in [tags] {

# drop { }

# }

}  
}

when i try look at logstash-plain.log this what i got :

[2020-02-24T15:43:21,988][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=\>"6.5.0"}
