Hi! Sorry about that. Our documentation is a bit ahead of the latest release. That should be fixed shortly. In the mean time, to get dashboard setup with the APM Server alpha1, run the following command from the directory of a local checkout of the APM Server git repository: `curl -XPOST http://localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/import -H 'Content-type:application/json' -H 'kbn-xsrf:true' -d @./_meta/kibana/default/dashboard/apm-dashboards.json` If you're on 5.6, you need to do this instead: `curl -XPOST http://localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/import -H 'Content-type:application/json' -H 'kbn-xsrf:true' -d @./_meta/kibana/5.x/dashboard/apm-dashboards.json` Let me know if that helps! ---

We updated the docs to be correct again. This should be the right approach: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/install-and-run.html#kibana-dashboards](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/install-and-run.html#kibana-dashboards) ---
