Unable to fetch mapping Do you have indices matching the pattern?

Question

I followed this tutorial to get it all installed on my machine. The machine I installed everything on is windows server 2008, and I am remoting into it from my windows 7 computer.

https://www.ulyaoth.net/resources/tutorial-install-logstash-and-kibana-on-a-windows-server.34/

From what I can gather, there is no information being shipped to elasticearch yet. I'm not really sure if its a problem with my nxlog/logstash setup or my network settings. I've already opened all the appropriate ports. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

When I check and see if elasticsearch is running with localhost:9200 I get:

{
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "Electro",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "1.7.2",
    "build_hash" : "e43676b1385b8125d647f593f7202acbd816e8ec",
    "build_timestamp" : "2015-09-14T09:49:53Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.10.4"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Here is my logstash.conf and nxlog.conf files.
