I have 2 ELK clusters. They have been setup correctly as Remote Clusters to each other, and I have the correct Cross Cluster Search Index Pattern of `*:metricbeat-*`

I can successfully query the data against this Index Pattern using the Discovery page in Kibana. So far, so good.

The problem I'm seeing is that some of the supplied Metricbeat visualizations do not respect the index override option when they're installed and are forced to use the default Index Pattern of `metricbeat-*` so I don't see the data i.e. I'm losing my cross cluster search capability

Am I missing something, or is this a glitch in the supplied visualizations setup routine?
