Is there a way to rename the example Kibana Dashboards that comes with filebeat? The [Configuration Dashboard](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-dashboards.html) and [Configuration Template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-template.html) do help in changing the elasticsearch index name and index name defined in the dashboard, however doesn't have the option to rename the dashboards.

The default kibana dashboard, for example, is "[Filebeat Apache2] Access and error logs", my objective is to change it to [Customname Apache2] Access and error logs". I also want the change to be reflected in example visualization samples and saved search samples. I would really appreciate any suggestions.

The dashboards are loaded from JSON files in the `kibana/6` folder of Filebeat. You could do a `sed` to replace all instances of `[Filebeat *]` with `[Customname *]`. Obviously a hack, but should work.
