I am getting _No existing kibana index found_ when i run kibana.
Previously i was able to get the index and visualize the data.
Here is my logstash conf file.
input {
file {
path =\> "D:/LOGS/log1.txt"
type =\> "core2"
start\_position =\> "beginning"
}
}
filter {
csv {
columns=\>["TYPE","TIMESTAMP","APPNAME"]
separator =\> ","
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
action =\> "index"
host =\> "localhost"
index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
workers =\> 1
cluster =\> "myelastic"
}
stdout {
codec =\> rubydebug
}
}

KB should create this automatically if it doesn't exist.
Does `curl HOST:9200/_cat/indices` show a `.kibana` index?

yellow open custom 3 2 0 0 432b 432b
yellow open logstash-2013.11.06 1 1 2 0 3.1kb 3.1kb
I am not able to index the json data into kibana.
In above custom have json file.But it is showing docs.count as 0.

Check with your **kibana.yml** file, whether correct configuration is present or not
```
#The Elasticsearch instance to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch_url: "http://localhost:9200"

Are You using **Elasticsearch** with **mobz\_head** Plugin. If you are using this one you can see the kibana index like this on this **Elasticsearch UI**
Yellow marked(.kibana) is the kibana index.

See, You can debug the **logstash.conf** file using command like
> logstash --debug logstash.conf
You will getting any Problems, first yo need check whether the logs are loaded into Elasticsearch server or not(means **output of logstash rubydebug console** )
