There are no inbuilt dashboards, you would need to create them.

Which version of Kibana are you using ?

First you need data(indexes) in your ElasticSearch. Then you need to create Index patterns in Kibana. Afterwards you can build Visualizations. Once you have visualizations -\> then you can create a dashboard
