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](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](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.
