My Kibana dashboard shows " No Results found" for my system module of metricbeat

The kibana dashboard for system shows "No Result found" for all the fields that i have configured.

Here is my system module config :

# Module: system
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.x/metricbeat-module-system.html

- module: system
  period: 10s
  metricsets:
    - cpu
    - load
    - memory
    - network
    - process
    - process_summary
    - socket_summary
    #- entropy
    - core
    #- diskio
    #- socket
    - service
    - users
  process.include_top_n:
    by_cpu: 5      # include top 5 processes by CPU
    by_memory: 5   # include top 5 processes by memory
  # Configure the mount point of the host’s filesystem for use in monitoring a host from within a container
  #system.hostfs: "/hostfs"

- module: system
  period: 1m
  metricsets:
    - filesystem
    - fsstat
  processors:
  - drop_event.when.regexp:
      system.filesystem.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host|lib|snap)($|/)'

- module: system
  period: 15m
  metricsets:
    - uptime

#- module: system
#  period: 5m
#  metricsets:
#    - raid
#  raid.mount_point: '/'

And here is the dashboard error

The dashboard loads the correct fields for the Docker module only.
any other module like nginx, system, kibana, elasticsearch show no result.

Any help is appreciated Thank you.

hi @Shubh_Garg , config looks good, can you check the metricbeat.log file and see if there is any information there?

Hey @MarianaD , Thank you for the quick response. Here are the metricbeat logs.
