How to use dashboards imported from metricbeat into opensearch-dashboard [Opensearch 2.13.0 & metricbeat 7.12.1]?

OpenSearch Dashboards

I sincerely apologize if this is considered as a double post. In quest of reaching a larger community both here and elsewhere of opensearch, I admit posting this on stackoverflow. I am a bit desperate as I sort of encourage my organization to use opensearch instead of elastic.

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):

  • Opensearch 2.13.0
  • metricbeat 7.12.1

Describe the issue:

The issue is posted on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78429215/how-to-use-dashboards-imported-from-metricbeat-into-opensearch-dashboard-opense

After following the links referenced and write up by @electricbrain I am not able to see any of the dashboard imported from metricbeat to the opensearch-dashboards. Kindly help me make this a success. Thanks

It seems the OpenSearch web site/documentation has been updated significantly since that page was written.

A priori your configuration appears to be tested if I’m reading this page correctly: “Yes via version setting”

Hello @electricbrain , I really don’t know much, so I tried to follow to the details every instruction/documentation that I can find. So I am using recommended version for the opensearch and its associated *beats. I also followed the settings as recommended.

The only blur part to me is how the opensearch isn’t actually showing any dashboard . The way I see it is as long as the data is in there, creation of the dashboard will be manual and I suspect that will take a long time for me to complete it.

Any luck anybody ?

@blacksensei Have you resolved this issue? The steps described in StackOverflow and here include only the import of the index template and index pattern.

You need to create Dashboards manually.
