Hi to All, I am working on _ElasticSearch+Kibana_ combination it means i am trying to feed my elastic search log data into kibana .... I got the result i.e elastic search is working well and tested the same with the URL\* [http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/head/\*](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/*) (head front end controller)...It fetching my database table every 1 minutes.. Now i have to implement the same with _kibana_....What are the things i have to perform to act my search in kibana ?... So for i tried in many ways i could in get clear vision in any of the site..I hope this group will help me out..

Kibana is highly configurable but for best OOTB experience it is aligned with Logstash. There are many examples on Google... for example here > **[Logstash.pdf](https://indico.cern.ch/event/220443/contributions/454391/attachments/358034/498566/Logstash.pdf)** For your log data, you could try the logstash "timestamped metadata mapping" which has the following fields @source: The source of the event which includes the plugin that generated it and the hostname that produced it. @tags: An array of tags on the event. @fields: A set of fields, for example "user": "james" for the event. @timestamp: An ISO8601 timestamp. @source\_host: The source host of the event. @source\_path: The path, if any, of a source, for example /var/log/messages. @message: The event's message. In our case it is what we put into STDIN. @type: The value of the type configuration option we set. A sample { "@source":"syslog", "@tags":,"@fields":{}, "@timestamp":"2013-03-26T06:40:36.692Z", "@source\_host":"lxb009", "@source\_path":"/var/log/rsyslog.d/lxb007/messages", "@message":"Mar 26 07:40:35 lxb007 chef: [2013-03-26T07: 40:32+01:00] INFO: Starting Chef Run for lxb007.devops.test","@type":"linux-syslog" } A mapping template can be found at > and I used this { "_default_": { "properties" : { "@fields": { "type": "object", "dynamic": true, "path": "full" }, "@message" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed" }, "@source" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "@source\_host" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "@source\_path" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "@tags": { "type": "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "@timestamp" : { "type" : "date", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "@type" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" } } } } I switched recently to this mapping when indexing highly structured bibliographic data (many hundred fields) in @fields to get them visualized in Kibana. Works like a charm!
