Enable use on non-logstash data

[timbunce]

I'd love to run kibana on non-logstash data.
When I try, kibana (the current master HEAD) appears to hang.
The console shows:

Error: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'request.facet(facet)')
Error: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'request
.facet($scope.ejs.QueryFacet("query"+_.indexOf(queries,v))
.query(v)
)')
Error: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating '$scope.ejs.Request().indices($scope.index[_segment])
.query')

Also, as soon as I opened the error console I saw "TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'd.length')" appear in the graph area.

Hi,

I can use kibana without using logstash.
I write a little script using snmp to get memory and CPU informations, and I insert them in elasticsearch using the same format as logstash (with @fields...). It work perfectlty.

have a nice day :)

Hi @jsm-oxa, in this case the index already exists for an existing application. Adding logstash-like fields isn't an option, and (I think) should be needed.

You should just need to change the timefield in the time panel to whatever your time field is. It does need to be in iso8601 format though. There is nothing that ties kibana to logstash besides it being the default view. Look at http://demo.kibana.org/#/dashboard Nothing there is publushed by logstash.
