i guess you should delete the logstash index, it should not appear again. Just the filebeat index should be there.  
see : [Error in index or visualisations for "[Metricbeat System] Overview ECS"](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/error-in-index-or-visualisations-for-metricbeat-system-overview-ecs/201490/2)

use Kibana-\> Devtools\>Console:  
and execute:  
DELETE /filebeat-\*  
DELETE /\_template/filebeat-7.3.1
