# Importing the wrong dashboards (No data)

### Problem

When loading dashboards, you see the error: "The field associated with this object no longer exists in the data view. Please use another field,"

### Reason #1: You have no data in your data platform

Go to stack management:

And confirm you see Indices and that they match the dashboard file you imported (ECS vs CODEX -- See Reason #2):

If you do not see ElastiFlow Indices like the above, you must troubleshoot your flow collector and confirm that:

1. It is running
2. It is receiving flows on the expected port and is listening on that port
3. The host-based firewall is not blocking these packets (common in Red Hat based Linux)
4. The Flow Collector has successfully connected to your data platform (OpenSearch, Elasticsearch etc..)

### Reason #2: You've imported the wrong dashboards

There are two sets of dashboards that can be downloaded from: <https://github.com/elastiflow/elastiflow_for_elasticsearch>

How you configure the following setting in the flow collector will determine which set of dashboards to import: **EF\_OUTPUT\_ELASTICSEARCH\_ECS\_ENABLE=*****true/false*** **EF\_OUTPUT\_OPENSEARCH\_ECS\_ENABLE=*****true/false*** <https://docs.elastiflow.com/config_ref_output_elasticsearch#ef_output_elasticsearch_ecs_enable> <https://docs.elastiflow.com/config_ref_output_opensearch/#ef_output_opensearch_ecs_enable>

If you set this flag to 'true' you will import the dashboard file with **ECS** in its filename:

If you set this flag to 'false' you will import the dashboard file (light or dark theme) with **CODEX** in its filename:
