Hopefully I'm just going about this all wrong. I've tried to use set.dashboards.file in the dashboards section of the filebeat.yml to load just the IIS dashboard. First I tried to export the Filebeat-iis.json in kibana and zip the file then load it using the below config. Then I tried just using the json file. Below are the configs I used in the filebeat.yml.

set.dashboards.file: /usr/share/filebeat/kibana/6/dashboard/Filebeat-iis.json.zip

Then I tried to load the json.

set.dashboards.file: /usr/share/filebeat/kibana/6/dashboard/Filebeat-iis.json

I don't need to load all the default dashboards. Both above settings do not work. Any help much appreciated. Running 6.7.1 ELK and Filebeat.

This is my dashboard config  
#============================== Dashboards =====================================

# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading

# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the

# options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` comman

#setup.dashboards.enabled: true

# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released

# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the [artifacts.elastic.co](http://artifacts.elastic.co)

# website.

#setup.dashboards.url:  
set.dashboards.file: /usr/share/filebeat/kibana/6/dashboard/Filebeat-iis.json.zip

Any help much appreciated.

Hello, You can use setup with `--module` to only load things from a single module.

Hey, thanks for the reply! I ran  
filebeat setup --modules iis  
It still loaded all the default dashboards for Filebeat.  
I tried they filebeat system module as well.  
I also tried this  
filebeat setup --dashboards --modules iis  
Still loaded all the default dashboards.
