# 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 NetObserv Flow 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. NetObserv Flow 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 NetObserv Flow will determine which set of dashboards to import: **EF\_OUTPUT\_ELASTICSEARCH\_ECS\_ENABLE=*****true/false*** **EF\_OUTPUT\_OPENSEARCH\_ECS\_ENABLE=*****true/false*** <https://elastiflow.com/docs/config_ref_output_elasticsearch#ef_output_elasticsearch_ecs_enable> <https://elastiflow.com/docs/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:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.elastiflow.com/additional-resources-reference-articles/faq/no_data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
