Hi,  
Currently I have it set up so that a logstash agent ships data to a different server through redis.  
I have created a dashboard out of the data that I receive. Now I want it to automatically ship the data so that i don't have to manually start logstash and then ship the data and update it in kibana.

How can i accomplish this?

Just start Logstash as a service and you should be good!
