I'm using a standard configuration for logstash to input from beats and output to elasticsearch. I'm also using a standard Filebeat configuration.

Metricbeat works fine, but once I start an instance of Filebeat, the metricbeat Infrastructure visualization breaks.

Could it be an index I need to change? Do I need to do some special setup that I'm missing?  
Thank you in advance, this has been breaking our system for weeks.
