Hi, I am not able to see live reloading in a custom metricbeat dashboard.  
I configured my metricbeat.yml file as per metric beat documentation

I want to configure Metricbeat to dynamically reload configuration files when there are changes.  
To do this, I specify a path to watch for module configuration changes. When the files found by the Glob change.  
For this I enabled:-  
metricbeat.config.modules:  
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml  
reload.enabled: true  
reload.period: 10s

But Still I am not getting live data in my custom metric dashboard.

Hi!

Could you elaborate more on this please?  
What are you trying to achieve? Are you enabling modules by putting configuration files under `${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml`?

C.
