[BUG] metricbeat dashboards fail to install

Attempting to install metricbeat (7.12.1) dashboards into the opensearch-dashboard fails due to the Kibana version check.

The workaround is to manually upload them with curl, for example:

curl -k -XPOST -u USER:PASSWORD -H "osd-xsrf: true" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
https://DASHBOARD-HOSTNAME:5601/api/opensearch-dashboards/dashboards/import?exclude=index-patterh\&force=true \
-d@/usr/share/metricbeat/kibana/7/dashboard/Metricbeat-system-overview.json

The command above appears to succeed (200 status), but the uploaded dashboards never show up in the “dashboards” section of the GUI and there are no errors in the logs indicating a problem.

Is there any guidance for installing the metricbeat dashboards to opensearch/opensearch-dashboard 1.0.1 ?

I was mistaken. They are visible, but only in the private tenant exclusive to the user id that uploaded them.

Is there a way to make them globally available?

Filebeat 7.17.3 suricata dashboards:

curl -XPOST -u admin -H 'osd-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://FQDN:5601/api/opensearch-dashboards/dashboards/import?exclude=index-pattern&force=true' -d@/usr/share/filebeat/kibana/7/dashboard/filebeat-suricata-event-overview.json
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"[request body.objects]: expected value of type [array] but got [undefined]"}

I suspect one would need to import the related visualizations first but I have no idea how to do that.
