FIlebeat dashboard creation

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi team

I have 12 EC2 instances my requirement is to create dashboard for all the server I have configure Elk stack with docker compose in one ec2 instance

To create dashboard we use command
filebeat setup

so my question is
do i have to run the above command on each of the ec2 instance server to create dashboard or any other would be suggested??

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

You need to run this command only once as the dashboard is imported into your Kibana instance. In your Kibana dashboard, you can then select the host which you want to view.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with docker but I am sure another user on this forum can help you with that.
