Hello, I am trying to enable system module in Elasticsearch (6.2.\*). I have used CLI (on kibana): ``` filebeat modules enable system ``` But when I go to kibana I get the following message: ``` Could not locate that index-pattern-field (id: system.syslog.hostname) ``` or ``` Could not locate that index-pattern-field (id: system.auth.ssh.event) ``` or ... What is missing ? ---

I also ran the following command: ``` filebeat setup --template -E output.logstash.enabled=false -E 'output.elasticsearch.hosts=["myelk:9200"]' ``` But it didn't help. What am I supposed to run now ? ---

What is the output of `./filebeat modules list`? Have you set index pattern in Kibana on startup? Have you tried sending messages already? ---

It seems to me that it is a Kibana error. Could you post your question in the Kibana forum? ---
