title: Create index in kibana without using kibana
body: <p>I'm very new to the elasticsearch-kibana-logstash and can't seem to find solution for this one.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to create index that I will see in kibana without having to use the POST command in Dev Tools section.</p>
  
  <p>I have set test.conf-</p>
  
  <pre><code>input {
   file {
     path =&gt; "/home/user/logs/server.log"
     type =&gt; "test-type"
     start_position =&gt; "beginning"
   }
  }
  
  output {
   elasticsearch {
    hosts =&gt;  ["localhost:9200"]
    index =&gt; "new-index"
   }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then</p>
  
  <p><code>bin/logstash -f test.conf</code> from logstash directory</p>
  
  <p>what i get is that I can't find the new-index in kibana (index patterns section), when I use elasticsearch - <code>http://localhost:9200/new-index/</code> it presents an error and when I go to <code>http://localhost:9600/</code> (the port it's showing) it doesn't seem to have any errors</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot for the help!!</p>
