Import Winlogbeats dashboards to hosted Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi All,

Very much a n00b with this ELK business.. so this may be a very simple question.

I have setup winlogbeats on a single windows server (for now).
I have also setup Elastic Cloud and enabled Kibana.

While following the directions here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/winlogbeat-sample-dashboards.html

I am not having any luck:
PS D:\winlogbeat> scripts\import_dashboards.exe -es https://KIBANAENDPOINT.aws.found.io -use
r elastic -pass PASSWORD
fail to set the mapping. Error: 404 Not Found

I have also tried manually uploading dashboards from the jsons zip file created above (through the Kibana GUI - Dashboards, open, manage dashboards, import .. and nothing happens..

Any tips?

Thanks in Advance..

The argument to -es should be the Elasticsearch endpoint, not the Kibana endpoint.
