Hi All,

I am new to rancher and exploring implementation of ELK stack.I have never used logstash / Kibana earlier.  
I have followed this url [http://rancher.com/running-our-own-elk-stack-with-docker-and-rancher/](http://rancher.com/running-our-own-elk-stack-with-docker-and-rancher/)

However I am stuck now on how to send the logs and how to view them. I tried below steps.

1. I created a new container with image vishnuvpotti/hostrouting ,port 7990 and set enviornment variables like ROUTE\_URIS=logstash://[LogstashIP]:5000

1. I created a new container with image vishnuvpotti/hostrouting ,port 7990 and set log driver in security tab to gelf and added in log optionswith key as gelf-address and value as udp://LogstashIP:5000

I dont know how to view the logs from these containers on Kibana.  
When I opened Kibana, I am being shown this page

Can anyone please let me know what should be the next steps.

Thanks,
