Metricbeat visual builder uses wildcard for index

Elastic Stack Beats

All of the visualizations imported for metricbeat that were Visual Builder visualizations used the wildcard () as the index. This made the dashboards very slow to load, I changed them to be metricbeat- and get a significant boost to performance.

Seems like a bug to me. Any reason why they were made this way?

It's a bug... Just filed: https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/5739

@evanb Could you try to set setup.dashboards.index: to overwrite the seetings to your need?

This is mainly helpful as a temporary fix so you don't have to do it manually.
