2. updated the metribeat.yml as per the suggestions

3. Metricbeat index is available in elasticsearch but not able to create the Pattern for the same in Kibana

The index pattern should have been created for you when you ran the setup command. Did you see any errors in your console when you ran it? What version of ES/Kibana/Beats are you running?
