Step 6: Loading the Kibana Index Pattern
editStep 6: Loading the Kibana Index Pattern
editWe don’t offer prebuilt dashboards for visualizing Filebeat data. However, to make it easier for you to explore Filebeat
data in Kibana, we’ve created a Filebeat index pattern: filebeat-*. To load this pattern, you can use the script
that’s provided for importing dashboards:
./scripts/import_dashboards -only-index
For more information about running the script, see Importing Existing Beat Dashboards in the Beats Platform Reference.
After you’ve created the index pattern, you can select the filebeat-* index pattern in Kibana to explore
Filebeat data.
If you don’t see filebeat-* in the list of available index patterns, try refreshing the page in your browser.
