Hello, After installed Metricbeat on a Windows server, I can get metricbeat logs in my elasticsearch. Now, I want to import Metricbeat dashboards but I am failing with this error : ./import\_dashboards -es "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" -i "idx-metricbeat-\*" -k ".kibana-plm" -only-dashboards Failed to set the mapping: Put [http://localhost:9200/.kibana-plm/\_mapping/search:](http://localhost:9200/.kibana-plm/_mapping/search:) net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers) Then I cannot find Dashboard in my Kibana available through Apache in my configuration. Thanks for your help Best regards, Antoine ---

Hi @abrejuin, Do you see any error in elasticsearch logs? It looks like the import dashboards script is getting a timeout while connecting to it ---

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have just run again this command and nothing appears in log (standard log or depreciation log in /var/log/elasticserach). ---
