Hi,

I am new to ELK. My ELK stack is running on a debian 8. Elasticsearch, kibana, and logstash are in version 5.2.2  
Whenever I try to import winlogbeat dashboards from a windows server where I run the service to the distant ELK, using .\scripts\import\_dashboards.exe -es [http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200), I've got an error saying something like "can't load json, rejected by remote computer"

As my elasticsearch is configured with network.host : localhost, i was thinking it might be the cause of the problem.  
So is there any other way to load the predefined dashboard in my kibana directly on the ELK server ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

You can just grab the dashboards from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/beats-dashboards/beats-dashboards-5.3.0.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/beats-dashboards/beats-dashboards-5.3.0.zip) and then import the json documents manually, or just run a script in a for loop to load each one.

I did try that already, using the import button on the saved objects tab, but nothing happened.  
Was it the good way to do it ?
