Hi,
I am new to setting up log analyzing tools.
Initial set up of Elastic search, Kibana and Logstash looked very simple when I followed the documentation on elastic website
All 3 components and filebeat have been installed seamlessly and Kibana URL worked fine. But, to create an index to allow logstash to get the data and send it to kibana, I am unable to do it since everything is greyed out and kibana UI shows "Unable to fetch mapping. Do you have indices mapping the pattern?"
I am stuck here and am unable to troubleshoot where the issue is.
OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
It is a remote machine and doesn't have internet connection. It is in the same network as other clients from where I need the logs collected from.
Can someone please suggest how can i configure Logstash to work with Kibana? or if there is documentation available for windows install.
Thanks,
Ravi

What version of Kibana are you using?
When prompted with that message, you should be at a page which allows you to add the index pattern. In this case, it would be "topbeat-\*" so long as the data is actually being inserted into Elasticsearch.
You can view the current indexes in Elasticsearch using the [\_cat/indices](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-indices.html) API
