Dear experts,
could you please tell me the way to customize the amazing dashboards like Filebeat Nginx ECS ones to point to a different index pattern ?
By default, it looks like that these dashboards do collect data from filebeat-\* pattern.
I would like to update it to fbeat-\*.
Many thanks for your help.
Regards.

I left a comprehensive answer here: [Rename the index-pattern for sample visualizations - #2 by flash1293](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rename-the-index-pattern-for-sample-visualizations/266617/2)
"Approach 1" is what you need I think

Many thanks for your reply @flash1293 ... I succesfully applied approach #1
Should I consider that updating the kibana index pattern fbeat-\* with custom pattern id filebeat-\* will be kept either after kibana or filebeat application/server restart ?

It will be kept until you run `filebeat setup --dashboards` - this might override some parts of your custom config.
