Which version of Elasticsearch and Beats are you using? ---

Try removing the slash at the end of the URL to Elasticsearch: BAD: `./scripts/import_dashboards -es http://localhost:9200/` GOOD: `./scripts/import_dashboards -es http://localhost:9200` ---

@adrisr I tried that but still get this error. ``` PS C:\Program Files\Packetbeat> ./scripts/import_dashboards -es http://localhost:9200 Failed to set the mapping: Put http://localhost:9200/.kibana/_mapping/search: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9200: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Now it's a different error. `Error: Put http://localhost:9200/.kibana/index-pattern/packetbeat-*: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9200: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.` It seems that there is no elasticsearch running at `localhost:9200` ---

@adrisr i there was an issue with that's resolved and the dashboard has been set,but i get this error. Also in the command prompt where i am starting the packetbeat it says no non zero metrics in last 30 seconds i can't see any of the traffic that i am generating ![Screenshot%20(95)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/2/126beb5bbf4d86bebb3603e307b6141949309164.png) ---

Can you please go to Dev Tools on the left pane and list the existing indices using following query: ```auto GET /_cat/indices?v ``` ---

And i also keep getting this and thought of bringing it to your notice ![Screenshot%20(99)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/7/e773a7c2a7d31bed1ff64677e0e15a2e60c1d877.png) ---

There are no packetbeat indices. This and the lack of metrics means that packetbeat is not sending any events to Elasticsearch. I would say that it is not capturing any traffic. From which interface are you capturing traffic? It is the value of the `packetbeat.interfaces.device` field in `packetbeat.yml`. To configure the proper interface on Windows, you have to run: `packetbeat -devices` It will print a list of devices similar this this one: ```auto 0: \Device\NPF_{113535AD-934A-452E-8D5F-3004797DE286} (Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter) 1: \Device\NPF_NdisWanBh (NdisWan Adapter) (Not assigned ip address) 2: \Device\NPF_{DD2F4800-0DEB-4A98-A302-0777CB955DC1} (AsyncMac Adapter) (Not assigned ip address) 3: \Device\NPF_{8E8A32C0-6E4D-46ED-9723-9D656A26D1F5} (EMULEX) (12.54.18.145) 4: \Device\NPF_NdisWanIpv6 (NdisWan Adapter) (Not assigned ip address) 5: \Device\NPF_{83485D06-422D-4558-AC88-5D0EB800BB1C} (MS LoopBack Driver) (fe80::ezeb:459b:61a4:c175 0.0.0.0) ``` Pick the interface you're interested in and configure it by using its index: ```auto packetbeat.interfaces.device: 4 ``` If you want to capture from the loopback interface read this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/faq.html#packetbeat-loopback-interface](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/faq.html#packetbeat-loopback-interface) ---
