The reason you are having these problems is that you need to run complete `metricbeat setup` not just load the dashboards

`metricbeat setup` also loads. The templates for the mappings are correct. The fact that you're having to use keywords means the mapping is not correct.

Take a look at this post [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metricbeat-to-logstash-to-elasticsearch-cannot-see-any-hosts-defined-but-data-is-definitely-coming-in/275715/2)
