Hi @ElasticLiver

I'm also having some hard time with Metricbeat 7.6.1. Could you take a look in a post a published some days ago an see if you have some similar scenario?

> Hello, I've just deployed a cluster in the Elastic Cloud and configured a metricbeat agent to send metrics to that cluster. Here is my metricbeat.yml: name: "xyz.acme.co" tags: ["ACME", "acme.co"] setup.ilm.check\_exists: false cloud.id: "..." setup.kibana.host: "..." setup.kibana.protocol: "https" setup.dashboards.enabled: true metricbeat.modules: - module: system enabled: true period: 1m Shouldn't Metricbeat's "setup --dashboards" and "setup.dashboards.enabled: true" only set up…

Thanks!
