I couldn't found vsphere dashboards for MetricBeat 7.5.2. I've checked the repository and found 2 files: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/module/vsphere/\_meta/kibana/7/dashboard](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/module/vsphere/_meta/kibana/7/dashboard) but i can't find them on the local instalation dir (/usr/share/metricbeat/kibana/7/dashboard).

I've tried to import them using metricbeat setup -E setup.dashboards.directory=\<path\_to\_files\> but i get an error:

```
Index setup finished.

Any idea on how to make this work?
