The indexes will not show up until they receive some data. Are you sending data to the indexes?

You said that you are receiving events. Look at the events in your search head and verify the index of the events.

What is the value of index for the events that you are receiving? Could it be the default index? If so, you need to specify the index in the inputs.cont of your forwarder.
