      Hi,
      Thanks for your response. When you mean port 5544 would it rather be  (192.168.3.199:5140) (logstash server 192.168.3.199) I tried following this tutorial
      https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-4-on-centos-7
      and
      https://elijahpaul.co.uk/monitoring-pfsense-2-1-logs-using-elk-logstash-kibana-elasticsearch/

      but im stuck on accessing Kibana web interface :(

      also there's no package for logstash forwarder for pfSense?

      Thanks

        I tried various logstash implementations and didn't get far on any of them. Then I tried Nagios Log Server and it worked out of the box. It's a commercial product built on top og Logstash and Elasticsearch and it's very easy to use.

            Hi mikesamo thank you soo much for this I really Appreciate it. I am downloading as we speak and I will let you know how it goes. I am going to follow this https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-convert-an-ova-virtual-machine-to-vhd/
            because i use Hyper-V  and hopefully it goes well

            Thank you again for everything.

            also side note I was wondering if its possible to change the password and the name that appears sexilog kinda awkward to put in a work environment with that name haha  :D

                      if you guys are interested i made a guide finished it up only thing that needs fixing is the syslogs (pfSense system logs) not filtering  correctly with the sysdashboard
                      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=98740.msg549992#msg549992

                      and i need to add curator to delete logs after time or gigs and then backup before deleting.
