Set up log file

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I have ELK presently running in a DEV environment and I was told to set up two directories so that someone will move logs from a Production environment to DEV to view the logs in Kibana. Where would I set up the paths for the log files and how will I have Kibana locate the log files?
thanks

Use Logstash with a file input to read the logs and send them to Elasticsearch since that's what Kibana interfaces with. This is a basic use case for the Elastic stack so pretty much any documentation or tutorial will apply.

One question. How can I force Kibana to view these logs?

What do you mean? If the logs are available in ES you can view them in Kibana, otherwise not.
