If you are new to Elasticsearch, the best solution for you is to use the default filebeat dashboards. With few configurations, Filebeat can load predefined dashboards suitable for most use cases. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-dashboards.html#:~:text=Filebeat%20comes%20packaged%20with%20example,can%20run%20the%20setup%20command .

If you change the YML file, the dashboard will be re initiated after each filebeat restart. If you want to load them only once, you should be able to execute it with the CLI once:

./filebeat setup -E "setup.kibana.host=http://localhost:5601" --dashboards
