**Kibana version** : 6.2.4 **Elasticsearch version** : 6.2.4 **APM Server version** : 6.8 **APM Agent language and version** : Still not there **Browser version** : Chrome 80.0.3987.106 **Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: yum. Installed apm-server on a centos7 VM. **Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** Fresh install **Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc. I did change some configuration at apm-server.yml ```auto apm-server]# grep collaborati apm-server.yml setup.template.name: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}" setup.template.pattern: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-*" setup.dashboards.kibana_index: .kibana_collaborativeapps6 host: "es-collaborativeapps6.domain.com:443/kibana_basic" username: "collaborativeapps" hosts: ["es-collaborativeapps6.domain.com:9203"] username: "collaborativeapps" index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-sourcemap" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-error-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-transaction-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-span-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-metric-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-onboarding-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" ``` **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: While running apm-server setup I get an error. This is consistent also if trying to create the kibana dashboards using curl ```auto # /usr/share/apm-server/bin/apm-server -c /etc/apm-server/apm-server.yml setup --dashboards -v Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Exiting: Failed to import index-pattern: Failed to load directory /usr/share/apm-server/kibana/6/index-pattern: error loading /usr/share/apm-server/kibana/6/index-pattern/apmserver.json: returned 400 to import file: . Response: {"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Cannot read property 'map' of undefined"} ``` Using curl, get a bit different error: ```auto # curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST https://es-collaborativeapps.domain.com/kibana_basic/api/kibana/dashboards/import?force=true -u collaborativeapps:.... --data-binary "@/usr/share/apm-server/kibana/6/dashboard/apm-dashboards.json" {"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Request must contain a kbn-xsrf header."} ``` APM 6.8 should be ok considering compatibility matrix for ES 6.2.4: [https://www.elastic.co/es/support/matrix#matrix\_compatibility](https://www.elastic.co/es/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) Please let me know about any hint or any further information you may require.

Hi Gasparuben, It looks like your `apm-server.yml` file isn't quite set up correctly. Using ES/KIB `v6.2.4`, and APM Server `v6.8.6`, I was able to get the following configuration to work: ```auto setup.template.name: "collaborativeapps6-apm" setup.template.pattern: "collaborativeapps6-apm-*" setup.template.overwrite: true setup.dashboards.index: collaborativeapps6-* output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["localhost:9200"] indices: - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-sourcemap" when.contains: processor.event: "sourcemap" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-error-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" when.contains: processor.event: "error" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-transaction-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" when.contains: processor.event: "transaction" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-span-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" when.contains: processor.event: "span" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-metric-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" when.contains: processor.event: "metric" - index: "collaborativeapps6-apm-%{[beat.version]}-onboarding-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" when.contains: processor.event: "onboarding" ``` You can then run `./apm-server setup` and start apm-server. The APM dashboards will display data once you have it: ![Screen Shot 2020-03-02 at 10.58.05 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/8/c848fa907e14aca15e6343785730bbdbfa67b0c1.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-03-02 at 10.57.49 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/f/afba4fe7fbe64d602715fe8fc029055b951dee11.png) ---
