Note that the Kibana tutorial should be updated with the dashboard screenshot when the dashboard is in.

@ChrsMark

So I have this screenshot and have exported the JS to generate it from Kibana and left it up as a gist since I'm not quite sure where the dashboard should go https://gist.github.com/devon-kim/9f0514616b0869e31e721d11ca997db4

[ChrsMark]

Thanks @devon-kim! #14026 can be used as an example of how the dashboard should be added. Could you give it a try?

Thanks for contributing the Dashboard @devon-kim! Backports to 7.x and 7.6 are on the way!

@andresrc should we add the Dashboard to the test-plan for an extra check and then maybe the module can go to GA?

[andresrc]

@ChrsMark what's missing here?

[ChrsMark]

@andresrc we have already test it so I think it can go to GA.
