In beats yml file this needs to be enable  
look for following

```auto
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
setup.kibana:
 
  host: "kibana_host:5601"
  username: "elastic"
  password: "changeme"

```

all your dashbaord are located in /usr/share/beats-name/kibana folder.

if you do this it is going to load hundreds of dashbaords and visulizations.  
if you only want particular dashboard then you have to do more work and remove unwanted .json files from that dir.

I think that with the Elastic Agent you don't need to load the dashboards, it will be loaded when you enable the integration through Kibana.

There is an [old topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-agent-integration-dashboards-not-loading/282707) with a similar question.
