I'm trying to replicate what was possible with ELK 2.x in 6.2.1.

I tried to create indexes and dashboards for filebeat and topbeat, but the dashboards for filebeat end up like the screenshot above, I haven't been able to create dashboards (from templates) for topbeat, I thing the scripts are still not updated for 6.2.1.

I reinstalled everything, deleted indexes, and some other things, but haven't gone further than those errors, anybody has any idea ??

I'm following the latest instructions, by the way.

Regards !  
Max

Topbeat is discontinued and is replaced by Metricbeat.  
Are you creating dashboards from scratch? Or are you using the dashboards coming with Beats and building on top of them?
