Greetings All,

I'm trying to import dashboards but not having any luck. Filebeat logs the following error message.

ERROR instance/beat.go:802 Exiting: Failed to import dashboard: Failed to load directory **C:\DevOps\Filebeat\kibana/7/dashboard:**

error loading C:\DevOps\Filebeat\kibana\7\dashboard\Filebeat-Iptables-Overview.json: returned 400 to import file: . Response: {"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Unable to bulk\_create dashboard,search,visualization, missing action:saved\_objects/dashboard/bulk\_create,action  
:saved\_objects/search/bulk\_create,action:saved\_objects/visualization/bulk\_create"}

Notice in bold after kibana there are 2 '/'. I have no idea why. Can someone please give me a hand?

Thanks,  
Stef
