Hello I got my ELK to work, and i can websruf to the localhost, but i cant send syslog messages to the host. all i get is the message no results found. IM running it on a Debian Linux, and this is a fresh install that i just got working. I have configured a Aruba controller and a Juniper Switch to send alla logs to the host but none show up in kibana. What do you guys think ? Is there a way to check if the logs are reaching the host ? I can ping from both units to the local host and also back, and i have a any any allow policy between them. Thank you ---

Hi Simroo, I would start by checking if your data is getting into elasticsearch. These results look best if you use Chrome browser with "JSON Formatter" extension installed. If you start with [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/) you should see basic info about your cluster. [http://localhost:9200/.kibana](http://localhost:9200/.kibana) should show you your kibana index (not very useful in itself). If you know the index your data in you should see the mapping with something like this; [http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.12.22/](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.12.22/) And get a count of the data in that index like this; [http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.12.22/\_count](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.12.22/_count) If your data isn't getting loaded, we should move this to the logstash area. If it is, can you tell us the elasticsearch version and Kibana version you're using? Thanks, Lee ---
