Debian 10  
journalbeat 7.6.1 installed with apt

when configured with:

```auto
 setup.dashboards.enabled: true

```

journalbeat says:

```auto
Error importing Kibana dashboards: fail to import the dashboards in Kibana: Error importing directory /usr/share/journalbeat/kibana: No dashboards to import. Please make sure the /usr/share/journalbeat/kibana/7

```

inside /usr/share/journalbeat/

```auto

```

Is there any way to setup dashboards? maybe with a url or manually?

Like you can see here dashboard is broken at the moment:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/journalbeat/7.6/view-kibana-dashboards.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/journalbeat/7.6/view-kibana-dashboards.html)

It was removed at version 7.5:

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/15288>

So I think there won't be a quick fix for that.

I didn't try but maybe you can make it with the last version of the dashboard

and this fix comment

And maybe this PR?
