Hi,

I am trying to import beats dashboard but cant find import\_dashboards script at [https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/libbeat/dashboards](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/libbeat/dashboards)

I was following the instructions at :  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/import-dashboards.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/import-dashboards.html)

Any help will be much appreciated. I tried searching this topic but could not find any relevant posts.

Thanks in advance,  
Shinoj.

What version do you use?

The functionality of `import_dashboards` was moved to `setup` command of specific beats in 6.0. That is why you can't find it on master. However, you are looking at docs of 5.5.  
So if you want to import dashboards of filebeat you should use `filebeat setup`.
