I understand the Filebeat and its sample dashboards do not function properly without ingest pipelines. Is this also the case with Winlogbeat? I have Winlogbeat working well, and the sample dashboard is populating nicely, without any ingest pipelines configured. Please advise me if I'm missing something by not creating ingest pipelines for Winlogbeat?

Thanks  
Sera
