Hi,
Could you provide some more information so we can be able to help you?
1. What version of Kibana are you using?
2. Have you enabled automatic refresh for your Dashboard? (It's not enabled automatically)
3. Is this affecting other Dashboards or just the Metricbeat one?

@majagrubic, Thanks I have figured it out now..
**click the Calendar drawing at the top right corner of the dashboard and program on Refresh every with desired value**. Configure the desired value by clicking the Start and Auto-refresh
