Import Dashboards failed - failed to load

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

I tried to follow this guide: https://www.elastic.co/blog/grokking-the-linux-authorization-logs

I cannot enable system using following command:

filebeat -e -setup -modules=system

I cannot install dashboards using command:

/usr/share/filebeat/scripts/import_dashboards -file beats-dashboards-5.6.6.zip -user elastic -pass XXXX

[root@dzllog01t xnlxd36@LU.AD.DOM]# /usr/share/filebeat/scripts/import_dashboards -file beats-dashboards-5.6.6.zip -user elastic -pass XXXX

What's wrong?

I tested with a local Elasticsearch 5.6.6 instance and it worked as expected.

cd ./filebeat-5.6.6-darwin-x86_64

curl -O -L https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/beats-dashboards/beats-dashboards-5.6.6.zip

./scripts/import_dashboards -file beats-dashboards-5.6.6.zip -user elastic -pass changeme

What version of Elasticsearch and Kibana are you running? Is it running locally?

Hi,

I'm running 5.6.6 and today I migrated to 6.1.3. Will test it now again.

Because this is a test environment everything is installed on one host.

Usually I do those steps as user root.
