Kibana Dashboards (Optional)

There are some pre-defined dashboards available for Kibana to display some default visualizations. They can be integrated into Kibana as followed:

$ cd ~/Downloads

$ curl -L -O https://download.elastic.co/beats/dashboards/beats-dashboards-1.2.2.zip

# In case unzip is not yet installed:
$ sudo apt-get install unzip

$ unzip beats-dashboards-*.zip

$ cd beats-dashboards-*

# Install dashboards
$ ./load.sh

This installed the following index patterns into Kibana:

  • packetbeat-*
  • topbeat-*
  • filebeat-*
  • winlogbeat-*

You can find them within the Kibana settings tab:
