Am trying to load a modified json from kibana/7/dashboard/Winlogbeat.json as our Kibana instances are firewalled off for beats clients. So I'll have to import a version manually from my desktop, only Kibana complains. Wouldn't the format of kibana/7/dashboard/Winlogbeat.json be right for importing? If so what would I need to change to adapt to our custom named index [+pattern]? ![57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/9/a96f4e6a84ff0c35bfaa1be06d4710a71370669f.png) ---

Installed a Windoze VMguest on my labtop and did the setup from that 🙂 Still would be nice if setup.dashboards.space.id were better documented ---
