I am currently in the Observability Fundamentals lab. While running the command ./filebeat setup, it brings up the following error ```auto Overwriting ILM policy is disabled. Set `setup.ilm.overwrite: true` for enabling. Index setup finished. Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Loaded dashboards Setting up ML using setup --machine-learning is going to be removed in 8.0.0. Please use the ML app instead.

A couple of people have sent messages without a solution since November 2020. Hoping someone can help! ---

Is there more to the log file? ---

I thought that the ML component is not running. I got some warning from the cloud console that ML component is not running. I enabled the Machine Learning module and rerun the command. Still no luck. Is there something I am missing here? ---

What command are you running? If you are running `filebeat setup` then you can probably ignore the error and move on. Are you having an error when trying to run `filebeat`? If so, what does your configuration file look like? ---

Hi Rich - thanks for replying. I had not changed the settings more than what was required. ---

You are running `filebeat setup`. Ignore the error/warning about ML, just log in to Kibana and see if you have an index pattern for `filebeat-*`. If you do, then the setup command worked. ---
