I'm trying to import dashboards into Kibana and getting following:

elasticsearch, logstash and kibana are running inside of docker containers, all running version 6.0.0.

Please advise.

The error message indicates that metricbeat is looking for dashboards in the wrong place. You need to set setup.dashboards.directory correctly, so dashboards can be found. The dashboards are under /usr/share/metricbeat/kibana folder.

./filebeat setup -E "setup.dashboards.directory=/usr/share/metricbeat/kibana"

seems like it's working:
