If you want to monitor connectivity to the Internet from your office then I would recommend running [Heartbeat](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/heartbeat) and monitoring ping times to a few different Internet hosts.

For router logs I would configure it to send syslog data to a Logstash instance running the [syslog input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-syslog.html).

@andrewkroh thanks, i used heartbeat to ping the router and also to ping a web application then i browsed the metrics in Kibana. There was just heartbeat http dashboard. Is there any icmp or tcp heartbeat dashboard as http dashboard?

There's only an HTTP dashboard AFAIK. You can [create](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.0/createvis.html) a custom viz for your needs. I also have it deployed (I think I have a 5.6 version running) and added a simple line chart to visualize the ICMP RTT values.
