Hi! I'm trying to import a [Existing Beat Dashboards](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/import-dashboards.html), but as [this merged pull request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/4586) states, the import\_dashboards command is deprecated.

The new command is `setup` but can't find any documentation on how to use it.

I'm running ELK stack 5.5.1 on docker. How can I import one of the beats dashboards from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/beats-dashboards/beats-dashboards-5.5.1.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/beats-dashboards/beats-dashboards-5.5.1.zip)?

Thanks in advance.

You need to use `import_dashboards`, it may be deprecated but it's not gone (yet) 🙂

I guess that's true. Will keep using it until the docs are updated with the new setup command.
