Using premade dashboard with Logstash

Elastic Stack Kibana
#1

Hello there,

Some what new to ELK. So I have 3 different machines Monitoring, Logstash and Beats

Monitoring - hosts Kibana and Elasticsearch. secure machine allows only Logstash
Logstash - hosts only Logstash.
Beats - regular app machine with Metricbeat and Filebeat.

Beats -> Logstash -> Elasticsearch

So my question is can I use Beats premade dashboards to monitor Logstash data or to I have to create my own dashboards?

Welcome to our community! :smiley:

Are you talking about the inbuilt Stack Monitoring?

Yes, I think so.

So my problem is, that I can't send Metricbeat data straight to elasticsearch.
I have to send it through Logstash machine for security reasons and I can't setup kibana dasboard because ports are closed.

Can I some how load them in my Monitoring machine.
