Hi

I am running a 7.6.0 version of ELK on CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core). I have downloaded beats-dashboards-1.3.1.zip using wget https://download.elastic.co/beats/dashboards/beats-dashboards-1.3.1.zip cd /root/beats-dashboards-1.3.1 and when i try to do ./load.sh -url "http://localhost:9200". I am facing the below issue

#./load.sh -url "http://localhost:9200"

Hey @kaushalshriyan,

These beats dashboards are for a very old version of the stack, I don't think they can work with recent versions.

What are you intending to do? If you are trying to install beats dashboards in Kibana, please follow the instructions of the beat you are using. For example for Metricbeat 7.6 you can find the instructions here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.6/load-kibana-dashboards.html

Hi Jaime,

I am trying to setup Elastic Stack Application logging where all system, /var/log/messages and other application related logs which reside in /var/log directory from the remote client running CentOS 7.7 Linux OS are shipped/pushed to Elastic Stack as Centralised Logging. Using Kibana Dashboard i can query for any exceptions or errors occurring from any of the remote clients.

Please suggest further and i look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

For that you can use filebeat, with the system module enabled, and configured with Elasticsearch as output. Using Logstash in this deployment would make it slightly more complex, and it wouldn't be needed in principle, unless you have other needings.

To install the Kibana dashboards, follow the instructions in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.6/load-kibana-dashboards.html
