Hi,

I use the example dashboards imported by metricbeat setup.  
The visualizations work:

but not in the dashboard:

What can be done about this?

Best regards,  
Robert

Hi Robert,

Visualizations on a Dashboard are also filtered by dashboard filters/queries besides the filters/queries stored with the visualization. Do you perhaps have any filters queries currently active on your dashboard that would limit that data? Otherwise, do you maybe have a specific time range selected in the dashboard that is different from when you were looking at the visualization that does not have any (relevant) data in it?

Cheers,  
Tim

Hi,

I found out, that there were two dashboards with the same purpose, one with the suffix ECS, one without. The one with the suffix works, it seems to be the newer one.
