There has been a similar question in the forum of Auditbeat: [Auditbeat default dashboards missing required field](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auditbeat-default-dashboards-missing-required-field/128891)

Do you have a custom index in Elasticsearch? If yes, there is a workaround until the issue is fixed: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/6926](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/6926)
