I've installed metricbeat in the Mongo server and I'm able to see the logs shipped to logstash and elastic into the kibana discovery, however when I open the dasboard I get the error " Could not locate that index-pattern (id: metricbeat-\*), [click here to re-create it]"

Do you know what is going on?

To visualize and explore data in Kibana, you must create an [index patterns](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html). An index pattern tells Kibana which Elasticsearch indices contain the data that you want to work with. An index pattern can match a single index, multiple indices, and a rollup index.

Have you tried clicking `click here to re-create it`? Did that resolve your issue?

Hi @Nathan_Reese,

I have the index templates created already as you can see in the following image.

 ![indexpatterns](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/0/9083218f157ada24b9380386627797911afad5f1.jpeg)

When I click to recreate the index it says that it is already created as you can see following:

Maybe the problem could be related to the logstash configuration, maily the input part as I'm only reading the beats. Could it be the problem?

```
input
 {
     beats {
    port => 5044
 }
}

```

I'm also attaching a print where you can see the logs from metricbeat being shipped to elasticsearch / Logstash:
