Loading Kibana dashboard for filebeat

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi, I'm using Elasticsearch and Kibana services in Azure and I have logstash on-prem. I want to have filebeat push logs to logstash. I'm trying to load the Kibana dashboard for filebeat using the endpoint URLs for Elasticsearch and Kibana as seen below:

filebeat setup -e
-E output.logstash.enabled=false
-E output.elasticsearch.hosts=['ELASTIC ENDPOINT URL']
-E output.elasticsearch.username=USER
-E output.elasticsearch.password=PW
-E setup.kibana.host=KIBANA ENDPOINT URL

However, I get this error when trying to run that command:

Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)

Any help would be really appreciated!

Hey!

Could you try to curl the Kibana API directly?

Like curl https://3859ca0bd01c418e91b537ccd48171f2.eastus2.azure.elastic-cloud.com:9243/api/status.

(you might need to embed the username and password in the url like https://some_user:some_pass:3859ca0bd01c418e91b537ccd48171f2.eastus2.azure.elastic-cloud.com:9243/api/status)

This will might tell us more about the reason of failing.
