Hi all,
I am trying to import Heartbeat Dashboard. Steps performed:
-Installed Elasticsearch and Kibana on Host1. This is working Fine
-Installed Heartbeat5.6 on Host2 . Heartbeat monitoring is working fine
- Edited heartbeat.yml
# Configure monitors
heartbeat.monitors:
- type: http
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["[elkquest.unx.sas.com:9200](http://elkquest.unx.sas.com:9200)"]
template.name: "heartbeat"
template.path: "heartbeat.template.json"
template.overwrite: true
- restarted Heartbeat. I couldn't see the default dashboard so i tried to import dashboard with command /usr/share/heartbeat/scripts/import\_dashboards
This is giving error:
fail to create the Elasticsearch loader: Error creating Elasticsearch client: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts, errors: 1 error: Get [http://127.0.0.1:9200](http://127.0.0.1:9200): dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9200: getsockopt: connection refused
Exiting
- The elasticsearch host should connect to [http://Host1:9200](http://Host1:9200).
Please suggest where I am going wrong

Is there a reason you're using such an old version of heartbeat? Can you upgrade to the lastest version?
In the latest versions the heartbeat dashboards are now located here: [https://github.com/elastic/uptime-contrib](https://github.com/elastic/uptime-contrib). See the README for instructions on installing the dashboard.
