I have ELK 5.6.7 running and installed winlogbeat, metricbeat and packetbeat on 3 workstations. I am trying to create searches for sorting the logs by security events, event IDs, generate dashboards and some visualization graphs. How can I achieve this? I am new to ELK and still learning about it. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Hi @codeguru,

Have you looked at [the documentation for beats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.2/load-kibana-dashboards.html)? It offers an easy way to produce dashboards and visualizations using the beat data.

Yes @chrisronline I have tried and ran into couple of errors. I will try this again sometime this week and post the issues I ran into. Thank you for the help!
