After upgrading from 6.8.2 to 7.4.2, when executing metricbeat setup, I receive the error Exiting: resource 'metricbeat-7.4.2' exists, but it is not an alias Visualizations and dashboards are of course largely broken. Any assistance you can offer would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Exiting: resource 'metricbeat-7.4.2' exists, but it is not an alias
