Hi All,

When I try and use the Apache Metricbeat dashboard I get the error could not locate that index-pattern however when I look in Management \> Kibana \> Index I can see the index and index pattern defined.

Screenshots are below:

Hi @bradfordaemorton,

How did you create your index pattern?

Dashboards expect to find an index pattern with name AND id `metricbeat-*`. When the index pattern is created by `metricbeat setup` it takes care of creating the index as expected, but if you create it manually you have to be sure of creating it with the same id.  
This can be done when creating the index from the advanced options.

Thanks. Just deleted my index patterns and re-ran setup. It took care of everything!
