I'm a newbie too, but am maybe about 15 minutes ahead of you. Sounds like you have the pieces you need, but do get sense, do this:
> $./bin/kibana plugin --install elastic/sense
Now start elasticsearch and kibana, then you should be able to run sense (be default) here:
> [http://localhost:5601/app/sense](http://localhost:5601/app/sense)
Hope this helps to get you to the point where you can at least tinker with some JSON.

If you're on 5.X then sense = Console and is built into Kibana 🙂

Thanks for the correction! I'm stuck on 2.4.2 due to circumstances beyond my control :-).

Thanks for reply - But I am having issues working with Ubuntu server.
So can I get .deb file for sense ?
I had downloaded and installed .tar.gz and don't know what to do (sounds crazy but true)- just browsed [http://localhost:5601/app/sense](http://localhost:5601/app/sense), got this message - {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Unknown app sense"}

Sense has been replaced by console in 5.0. Which version are you using?
You don't have to install a plugin anymore.

I think version 2.4.1, Can you please let me know - what is the alternative?
How to write to get the data into elastic search ? how you guys are doing - like importing data into es?

For testing?
First I'd start with 5.1.1. But if you can't then yes install Sense. Or use [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co)
For real?
It depends on your use case. You can use your own code (Java, JS, Python...) or something like Logstash.
