Hi all,  
using full stack on version 7.4 I'm not able to load the dashboard on Kibana using Winlogbeat.

I have specified this section in my `winlogbeat.yml`

```
============================== Dashboards =====================================
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
setup.dashboards.retry.enabled: true
setup.dashboards.retry.interval: 3600
setup.dashboards.retry.maximum: 2
setup.dashboards.index: "test-*"

```

but the loaded dashboard is the standard one (winlogbeat-dashboard-ecs) that is searching for winlogbeat-\* index pattern.  
I'm not understanding the reason.

Edit:If I change the default dashboard of winlogbeat using my custom index pattern, I face the error "index pattern not found". But I have already created it

hi guys,  
I have found the issue.  
By default, Winlogbeat will import an `index-pattern` that is saved in ES with `id: winlogbeat-*`

If we create a custom `index-pattern`, it will have a string id (for instance: 198c7490-f961-11e9-8539-97cbd7887a2d). That string must be replaced into the standard `Winlogbeat-overview.json`
