      Yeah. That way you know it is working before you make other changes.

        So for everyone looking to do this,

        Start here
        Then here

        And then (and @scottalanmiller I'm asking for confirmation) perform what I posted in the OP.

        Correct?

          So on a brand new installation of Centos7 after completing Elk on Cent and then progressing to https://mangolassi.it/topic/8308/configuring-logstash-and-filebeat-to-send-to-elk-logging-system

          I get this...

              What is missing from the second script is

              curl -L -O https://download.elastic.co/beats/filebeat/filebeat-1.2.3-x86_64.rpm

sudo rpm -vi filebeat-1.2.3-x86_64.rpm

                  Hrm, so I have a clean installation and when I go to the Elk/Logstash Web url I get a login prompt...

                  But I haven't the slightest idea of what the username password is.

                  Trying "kibana" and "changeme" results in the prompt asking for credentials again...

                    And I'm in.

                    Now to setup XenServer to send stuff to Kibana.

                        Have you looked in Kibana yet?

                          @StrongBad Yes, and nothing is showing up.

                          So there might be something I messed up while configuring it, or there just isn't anything set to show yet.

                            They show up quickly. We're the logs pretty regular before the change?

                                With just a basic syslog server setup and forwarding enabled when I viewed /var/log/messages it was blowing by

                                      I still have a few compressed logs (things that aren't marked to be forward to Elk/Kibana)

                                        Obviously I'll need to change the syslog file to make sure those are only sent off host.

                                        But why aren't they appearing in Elk/Kibana...

                                            I still don't know why the logging isn't showing up in Kibana. . .
