How to load Kibana dashboards from metricbeat pod in kubernetes

load-kibana-dashboard-metricbeat.md

1. Exec into any of the metric beat pod ( part of daemon set ) :

kubectl exec -it <metricbeat-pod-name> bash -n <namespace>

2. Run the below command :

./metricbeat setup --dashboards -E setup.kibana.host=kibana-kibana:5601

Note :

• Setup.kibana.host is the value of kibana service name.
• If the shell is exiting with erro code 137 while running the above command, its getting OOM while loading the dashboards.
• In that case, increase the memory of metrcbeat daemonset for the timebeing and re-run the command.
