Hi,  
I have a new installation of ELK. I can see kibana index when I visit [http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200/_cat/indices?v) but I cannot see any other index I create.  
I have also installed filebeat. This is part of my setting for filebeat.yml  
output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

hosts: ["[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200)"]  
index: "elk\_access\_log\_%{+yyyyMMdd}"

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

protocol: "http"  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "changeme"
