I have metricbeat setup on my MAC and metrics are uploaded to ES. I have also run the metric beat setup to configure dashboards.
ES: 5.4.1
Kibana: 5.4.1
Metricbeat: 7.0.0-alpha1
# metric beat index in created
**yellow open metricbeat-7.0.0-alpha1-2017.09.11 9OD-DM8cRxauhVcgcB\_0bQ 1 1 4220 0 1.3mb 1.3mb**
# Dashboard setup
[metricbeat] $ ./metricbeat setup --dashboards
Loaded dashboards
[metricbeat] $ ./metricbeat setup --template
Loaded index template
I am unable to make the Visualization and Dashboard work. I am getting the following errors show on.
I looked at related issues in discuss kibana topics and tried refreshing the index etc but can make it work. Any help is appreciated.

This looks odd. Should this not be Metricbeat 6.0.0-alpha1?

We are currently working on metric beat version 6.0.0, which is currently in beta2, so you should use that instead. You can get it [here](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/metricbeat#preview-release). If trying out Metricbeat 6.0.0, you should also use the same version of Elasticsearch and Kibana.

Thanks, it worked with 6.0.0 metric beat.
I need to compile metric beat for ARM and may I know the git tag/SHA to get 6.0.0 metric beat source code.

I have no idea about that, but would recommend you ask in the Beats category.
