Hey,

I am sending heartbeat and metricbeat logs from host A to Security Onion's logstash. I can see little triangles next to multiple fields. I have refreshed the indexes multiple times (management -\> index pattern -\> _:logstash-beats-_-\> refresh), but it's not working. What am I missing? I am new to all ELK.

Index Name: _:logstash-beats-_  
ELK Version: 6.7.2  
Metricbeat & heartbeat version: 6.7.1  
The reason it's not updated because I am using the latest Security onion ISO.

Kibana Log:

```

I do not see any errors and I have not made any changes to default indexs. It was added automatically once Elasticsearch started recieveing logs from Beats.

Thanks in advance.

What's the message you get when hovering over the triangles?
