Hi. I need a bit of a hand to install some dashboards. I have some security enabled on my cluster so can't just upload them...

I need a hand with the auditbeat dashboard but my beat is installed on a windows machine.. I tried this but no go.

From within PS as admin - auditbeat setup --dashboards

My ES Servers are on another box.

So what happens when you do that? Can you post the command and the output (as text, not a screenshot).

I'm good now.  
I temp disabled https on one of my Kibana nodes and then put this into my auditbeat.yml file

setup.kibana.host: "kib02:5601"  
and unremarked this..  
setup.dashboards.enabled: true

restarted auditbeat service

and it loaded!

I remember in the old days you had to run a switch command to load the Dashboard into Elasticsearch.. glad those days are gone 🙂
