Logstash+ES+Kibana setup?

I have logstash-1.4.1, elasticsearch-1.1.1 and kibana-3.1.0 downloaded on my machine. Presently I do the following steps to run the three and view my logs:

  1. run ./bin/elasticsearch to start elastic search.
  2. run bin/logstash -f logstash-simple.conf to start logstash. So till here my logs are stored in ES.
  3. To view my logs, I go to kibana-3.1.0 folder and open the index.html file inside it and I select a dashboard and my logs appear and am able to analyze them.

So presently index.html is run and a local file url is displayed in the browser with directory structure of the index file: file:///path/to/file/kibana-3.1.0/index.html#/dashboard/file/default.json

I want to view my logs via a proper url (which I can also give it to my client to run). If I try http://this.is.my.ip:9200//_search?pretty=true, I get to see logs in plain text format (the way it is stored in ES).

How should I able too view my logs with a URL (not the index.html). I want to give it to the client so that he can view logs through it's machine.

If I try http://this.is.my.ip:9200/kibana, I get No handler found for uri [/kibana] and method [GET].

I am new to this. I guess am missing something. Please help.

You need an web server, for example apache run at port 80, and put kibana folder into apache htdocs folder. So, you will have the URL: http:/this.is.my.ip/kibana-3.1.0/index.html

Then you want view your logs via the link above. Also, you can give this url to your client.
