The easiest way to import the beats dashboards is directly from the Beat itself. This is the guide here:

tl;dr: just use ./metricbeat setup --dashboards

Hi Marius,

Thanks for the reply, but iam using logstash as the output. So all the beats logs are forwarded to logstash .Is there any way to use ./metricbeat setup --dashboards or import dashboard to kibana

Thanks,
Raj

You just need to run it once, with the Kibana config (if you use security) set in the Metricbeat.yml file. After that you can just go back to shipping the beat data to Logstash.
