I'm running elasticsearch & kibana on machine with ip 7.7.7.4 and packetbeat is running on ip 7.7.7.1, I configured kibana on port 5601 and server host 0.0.0.0 and also configured packetbeat elasticsearch output to 7.7.7.4 made changes to my firewall to allow inbound connections on 9200  
and loaded the kibana default dashboards successfully, but in kibana i'm seeing this error  
[Error: No matching indices found: No indices match pattern “packetbeat-\*”]

Are there any errors in the Packetbeat log?

What does `packetbeat test output` report?
