Hello everyone,

I performed the beats installation (packetbeat/winlogbeat) on the DCs and the logstash installation on the server. I am not getting the logs in Kibana, though i see the packets (connectivity) between the DCs and the Server.  
Any suggestion ?

Welcome to our community! 😃

Are Beats sending to Logstash? What does your Logstash config look like?  
What do your Beats and Logstash logs show?

Hello,

Thank you for welcoming 🙂  
Yes, the beats are sent to the Logstash.

Do the Beats logs show that things are being shipped to Logstash?

Just a general comment, unless you are looking to be doing processing in Logstash, you should send Beats directly to Elasticsearch.

Otherwise, what is the output from the `_cat/indices?v` API? Hopefully there will be some `logstash-` named indices.
