Hi I have installed metricbeat in a machine with a postgresql service on it, so I enabled the postgresql module of metricbeat. I loaded the dashboards into kibana and search for a postgresql dashboard and doesn't exist. Theres a dashboard for this service? in any place? Thanks in advance Regards Rod ---

Did you see any errors in your terminal when you ran `./metricbeat setup`? ---

No Bargs, Metricbeat doesn't show any errors, I tried with versions 6.6.2, 6.7 and 7.0, and neither of them load a dashboar for postgresql. There's a place to download and install it manually, or to replicate by hand? thanks for the reply. Rod ---

I think the Beats folks will be able to help you more with that question so I moved this topic to the Beats forum. ---

I just realised there is a very simple answer for your question: In 6.6 we did not have dashboards for postgresql: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.6/metricbeat-modules.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.6/metricbeat-modules.html) Actually up to today we don't have any ☹ ---

@ruflin are there any plans to add Postgres dashboards? The Postgres metricbeat module is pretty useless as it is... ---

We definitively want to add dashboards to all our modules. Feel free to open a feature request for this dashboard on Github. Would be also great if you could mention the metrics you are most interested in. I wonder why it's useless in the current form? I assume you get all the data but have to build the visualisation for the metrics yourself? Or is there more to it? ---
