        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. . .

                                        What do the local logs say? On both ends. There should be Logstash logs saying what has happened.

                                          I'm still new to syslog, so what should I be looking at to answer this question?

                                            You could just use Graylog. It uses rsyslog instead of file-beat (which doesn't work with journalctl anyway).
