Beats have predefined Kibana dashboards that we can import directly for showing inside the Kibana dashboard. By using a Beat executable, we can import the dashboards and index pattern for that Beat. Now, I will cover how we can import the dashboards in different Beats.
We need to run the following command for importing Filebeat dashboards and index patterns in Kibana:
filebeat setupThe preceding command will load index mapping, Kibana dashboards, and machine learning jobs if they have been created. We can pass the flag in the previous command. For example, if we only require dashboards, we can pass the following command:
filebeat setup --dashboardsWe can pass --help if we want the details about the Filebeat setup command:
filebeat setup --help
