I think I got it to work!

Kibana now shows:

**What I did:**  
I read up on the Index templates article [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html).

Ran a query against the cluster to check if there was a valid template for topbeat:  
`curl -XGET localhost:9200/_template/`  
Response:

## [code]logstash

@{order=0; template=logstash-\*; settings=; mappings=; aliases=}[/code]

So, I think there is no topbeat index template...

Next I used the content of `topbeat.template.json` file (included with `topbeat-1.1.1`), and used [kopf](https://github.com/lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf) to create a new index template for topbeat:

I saw that refreshing still did no good.

So once again, I deleted everything (Didn't delete index template in kopf) and re-imported the entire stack:

> -Deleted all imported `Searches`  
> -Deleted all imported `Dashboards`  
> -Deleted all imported `index patterns`  
> -Deleted all imported `Visualisations`

> Then:  
> -Imported latest `beats-dashboards-1.1.1` sample dashboards.

_ **Now it looks like it works!** _

I'm quite sure there is some way to do this all via the ES REST API, but I have not figured out that part yet.
