no, the file is probably huge, look for 'error' in it

grep -i error debug.log

or search for the contents of a message that you know should be going to elasticsearch.

The error message should be pretty obvious, and when you see it you will probably be able to figure out what's wrong.

Ok I think I got it to debug...

I stopped the rsyslog service and then entered this at the command line.
/sbin/rsyslogd -c3 -dn > /var/log/debug.log

Then it gave me a file. Should I post the entire contents?

Ok, I woould guess that your elasticsarch actions are 10 and 11 (you would have 
to count the outputs in the file or add the name parameter to the action()
calls)

So this is saying that it's attempting to deliver the messages to elasticsearch 
but is failing.

try starting in debug mode and see exactly what's happening when it tries to 
deliver a message.

Yes, for a test like this where it doesn't look like anything is
getting through, I'd suggest setting it to something really short, say
10s so that you can debug quickly

Ok so after everyone's input I decided to go with 
Rsyslog->Elasticsearch->Kibana setup.

So I'm running CentOS 6.5 with apache. On a virtualbox machine.
Rsyslog version rsyslog-7.6.3-1.el6.x86_64 Kibana and elasticsearch
are the latest editions. I added a repo to just do a yum install of ES, and 
kibana is in my webroot directory.

Basically I've just created a test server to see how well the setup will be 
compared to a live server and I'm running into some issues. I've followed the 
instructions from here.
http://blog.sematext.com/2013/07/01/recipe-rsyslog-elasticsearch-kibana/ and I 
added the config part in that tutorial to the rsyslog.conf.

I've tested to make sure that rsyslog is running "logger blah blah blah" at the 
command line and It returns in the messages logs. So I think where I'm missing is from 
rsyslog to elasticsearch..

When I go to my kibana webpage and try to search for logs that I know are there 
it doesn't return anything.

Here is my rsyslog.conf

do you have impstats running? what does it have to say about the action to put 
logs into elasticsearch?
