Kibana dashboard and indexes are not created about tsharkvm

[H21lab]

Thank you for reporting this. I just tested it (running Vagrant 2.2.6 on Ubuntu 20.04.2) and for me it worked well. Maybe it depends on the performance of the machine.

There is the following vagrant script, which is executed after the VM initialization: VM/post_initialize.sh. It includes the following code, which waits 60s for Kibana to start. After it uses curl to import the Kibana objects. If the Kibana is not running in 60s, it will fail. So most likely this was the reason why the objects were missing. The correct implementation would be, that the script waits properly until the Kibana service is up.

echo "Wait for Kibana to start ... (waiting 60 seconds)"
sleep 60
curl -X POST "localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_import?overwrite=true" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form [email protected]

Your fix to import the objects from UI is fine or you can use the curl command from this script.

Yes I just checked and is probably what happened (for the record I am on a cloud VM so performance is definitely not like my bare metal).
We should this quirk to the main readme so people don't get confused.
Thanks

I pushed this commit 6bbdb70 to fix post_initialize script.
