Other Dashboard Load Options

edit

When you load the Beats dashboards, you can also specify:

The Kibana index pattern where you want to load the dashboards in Elasticsearch. For example:
```
./load.sh -url http://test.com:9200 -index .kibana_env
```
The username and password to use for authentication. There are a few ways to pass in the username and password. For example:
```
./load.sh -url https://xyz.found.io -u user:password 

./load.sh -url https://xyz.found.io -u admin:$(cat ~/pass-file) 

./load.sh -url https://user:[email protected] 
```
Specify the username and password separated by a colon.

Use a file to avoid polluting the bash history with the password.

Put the username and password in the URL.

These options are also available when you run .\load.ps1 on Windows.
