How can I update the index\_id associated to a visualisation?

I first enabled the Suricata Module from Filebeat and all the dashboard and visualisations were loading correctly. (Output to Elasticsearch and Kibana)

Due to changes in the data I was sending from Beats, I had to delete and create a new index but now created from Logstash. (Filebeat -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch). Since this new index was created, I can't load any visualizations.

I have recreated the index using the same name but I believe the visualisation is linked to the previous index\_id. I can also see the logs coming through on the 'explore' view.

I have also reloaded the Suricata module from filebeat which I believe should reload the visualisations to the right index. Before reloading the module, I deleted the filebeat index and kibana index but I’m still having the same issue.

In the 'SIEM' view, the Suricata logs are detected correctly as you can see here:

I have also tried to export the visualization from the saved objects but I'm getting this error in Kibana:

Filebeats 7.3.2  
Kibana 7.3.2  
Elasticsearch 7.3.1

Any help will be much appreciated.  
Thanks  
Camilo.

I found the fix:

I had to recreate the Kibana Index Pattern and set the id to 'filebeat-\*' on the advanced options. Not sure if this is the expected behavior though.
