I am having an issue in kibana. It does not show any results in the Discover tab.
Please look here for more information.
Do we have any Kibana alternatives that the community has used? I searched on the internet and I could find only Head elasticSearch plugin. If nothing works, then I will work on consuming the ElasticSearch JSON feed using .Net and asp.net charts.

Kibana is useful to convert log data from the ELK stack into visualizations and it also supports querying logs. Grafana is more of a general-purpose visualization tool that can work with a handful of data sets that may or may not be “logs”. But it does not support text querying.
Kibana is the visualization tool in the ELK Stack, and like Splunk, the platform supports the creation of visualizations such as line charts, area arts and tables and the presentation of them in a dashboard.
Grafana's design for caters to analyzing and visualizing metrics such as system CPU, memory, disk and I/O utilization. The platform does not allow full-text data querying. Kibana, on the other hand, runs on top of Elasticsearch and is used primarily for analyzing log messages.
The Basics. Strictly speaking, Kibana is classified as a monitoring tool, whereas Tableau is considered a business intelligence platform.
The only thing I know of would be Grafana. But that won't support ES until version 2.5. So currently you're going to have to make due with Kibana or manual labor.
EDIT
Grafana 2.5 has been released and features a ElasticSearch query editor.

I assume you are talking about Kibana 4 or 5. When this happens to me it usually means that the time filter is set to a period when there is no data for or documents do not have time stamps or the mapping of time stamp field is not set to 'date'. So the solution is to use Kibana 3 as your discovery panel. Here is a link to a fork that supports aggregations and Elasticsearch 2.x and 5.x.

In Kibana 3 you can remove time filter completely so the time histogram will try to show you all the data in the index, also if there are no time stamps you can still look at data in terms panels and documents panels.
Another interesting alternative is redash, you can build dashboards combining many sources of data including Elasticsearch. Drawback is that you need to know how to write a query.
