Hi ,  
It looks like when using custom pattern in auditbeat of filebeat, that ID for dashboards which are created with auditbeat or filebeat are created with extra space in the begging ,

For example in auditbeat I'm using:

```
output.elasticsearch.index: "my-testbeat-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
setup.template.name: "my-testbeat"
setup.template.pattern: "my-testbeat-*"
setup.dashboards.index: "my-testbeat-*"
setup.template.overwrite: true

```

then run:  
auditbeat setup --dashboards

Then in Kibana dashboards I get:

![01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/e/3e3b00cebd47227c7ebac9e0103f852b0effae06.png)

Could not locate that index-pattern (id: my-testbeat-_), c , however if I create new index pattern with name smth like my-test_ and define the index pattern ID with space in the begining like in an error:  
==\> "id: my-testbeat-\*" , it start working.

with default name for index "auditbeat" it's working ok.

is a bug os smth ? I'm using the latest 6.2.2 auditbeat.

BR,  
Illia

When loading the dashboards, the index pattern names must be replaced. I wonder if there is a problem with this name replacement. In kibana managent tab you can see object internals + json encoding of dashboards. I wonder if the patterns are correct.

Dashboard/Index-pattern loading wrosk differently per Kibana/Elasticsearch versions. Which versions are you using?
