I have used your file heartbeat.yml and restarted the service. In "Discover", I get : ```auto Time http.request.method http.response.status_code Jan 25, 2023 @ 16:51:48.000 GET 200 Jan 25, 2023 @ 16:51:28.000 GET 200 ``` That seems good ! I am surprised that It was not necessary to enable some modules, like in metricbeat where I enabled the modules system and sql... ---

Is this file "http\_dashboard.ndjson" still usefull ? ---

In C:\Program Files\heartbeat\kibana\7? No need If you are using standard index, not customized, you should see data in Kibana Dashboards http\_dashboard.ndjson is only to import the dashboard in Kibana Do you have a visual? Mobile One, can you copy, please? 😀 ---

OK, I suppressed this file. I my main dashboard, I use the index = "xconf-qa-\*" (like configured in the beats/modules) In Kibana, I found the dashboard "Heartbeat HTTP monitoring", but it uses "heartbeat-\*", then this dashboard doesn't work here. (`No matching indices found: No indices match pattern "heartbeat-*"`) I made a simple visualisation with axes : - horizontal : @timestamp - vertical : http.response.status\_code ![export (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/b/4bbd580be6ede38e25dc480acfb09a60b1feb99c.png) (I used a wrong address in the file heartbeat.yml to get some "400") I don't know if this is this visual that you wanted. This seems to be a good starting point to get a nice graph. ---

You have option: 1. Use heartbeat index: ```auto output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["edaa...nt.com:9243"] protocol: "https" username: "xconf-qa-write" # this username must have rights on heartbeat-* index. password: "pass" ssl.verification_mode: none #index: "xconf-qa-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" ``` No need changes on the dashboard "Heartbeat HTTP monitoring" or 2. Change the data view to show data from Index pattern: xconf-qa-\* or 3. Edit http\_dashboard.ndjson and replace index pattern refence with your xconf-qa-\* and import the dashboard again `"references":[{"id":"heartbeat-*","name":"kibanaSavedObjectMeta.searchSourceJSON.index","type":"index-pattern"},{"id":"heartbeat-*","name":"kibanaSavedObjectMeta.searchSourceJSON.filter[0].meta.index","type":"index-pattern"}]` ![HB1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/0/c00e11da59bdd42cfcdbdf7bb00359f3804aeeff.png) ![HB2a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/5/a5e44308865162e20e49f6badaec9d4639fef27a.png) ![HB2b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/d/3db885ffd9c04f1651b3db99d06a2d9feac71045.png) ---

Hi Rios, thank you for your 3 options. 1. I prefer not to have several indexes to manage. 2. I would have liked this, but I couldn't find "Dataview" in "Stack management", nor elsewhere (pb of version ? I use 7.16.7, pb of rights ?) 3. In the file "http\_dashboard.ndjson" I replaced "heartbeat-" with "xconf-qa-" twice (in the part of text you showed) This is OK !!! I open the dashboard "Heartbeat HTTP monitoring" , and there are no more errors, and the graphs are displaying. There is just a message " There are too many series defined (56). The configured maximum is 50." but it only concerns the panel " HTTP duration heatmap" that I don't think it will be useful to me. Thanks a lot! ---

Data view on 8.x is Index patterns on 7.x. > There are too many series defined. Already mentioned on other topic: _Stack management \> Advanced settings , then look for `visualization:heatmap:maxBuckets`_ ---

Thanks Rios. I now have the issue of testing multiple urls and I will open a new topic. ---
