I have a Ubuntu server that is currently using Graylog and ES. Everything working smoothly there. I downloaded Kibana for visualizations and its working fine. Now to save me time, I am trying to import some visualization and dashboard from winlogbeat. I have winlogbeat downloaded on my local host. I select the JSON files but it returns an error:

My Kibana is 5.6.10  
The winlogbeat is 6.3.2  
Could it be that? but surely a JSON file will be the same regardless of the version.  
I also tried copying the JSON code into individual visualizations, but it isnt working there either:

i know for sure that this number is wrong because if I query **winlogbeat-** \* it returns a different number.  
Any clues?

edit #1 : I don't have a winlogbeat per say, the one i am using is the Graylog-side-car. So I am not importing the files from the winlogbeat that's processing these logs, could it be that?

Hello,

We have major migration/upgrade changes between 5.6.10 and 6.x. So I suspect that is what is causing the error. Especially this one: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/removal-of-types.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/removal-of-types.html)

Can you please try using dashboard from winglobeat 5.6.10?

Let us know if it doesn't solve your issue.

Thanks,  
Bhavya
