* Use `beat.name` instead of `beat.hostname` in visualizations. See elastic#5276 for the motivation * Add a "tip" widget that tells user how they can select another host. * Automatically set a search pattern of the form `beat.name: "HOSTNAME"` where HOSTNAME is the Beat name (hostname) that uploads the dashboards. The way the last point works is that I saved the dashbaord using this filter: `beat.name:"CHANGEME_HOSTNAME"`. The kibana loader code does a string replacement and replaces `CHANGEME_HOSTNAME` with the actual hostname. The disadvantage of this approach (vs doing JSON parsing) is that we must remember to always save that dashboard with the `CHANGEME_HOSTNAME` wildcard in place. I have added a unit test to the system module that checks for that, so it should be relatively hard for us to forget. Closes elastic#5276. (cherry picked from commit 4778c51)

Cherry-pick of PR #5340 to 6.0 branch. Original message:
beat.nameinstead ofbeat.hostnamein visualizations. See 6.0 Metricbeat dashboards switched name key? #5276 forthe motivation
beat.name: "HOSTNAME"whereHOSTNAME is the Beat name (hostname) that uploads the dashboards.
The way the last point works is that I saved the dashbaord using this filter:
beat.name:"CHANGEME_HOSTNAME". The kibana loader code does a string replacementand replaces
CHANGEME_HOSTNAMEwith the actual hostname. The disadvantage of thisapproach (vs doing JSON parsing) is that we must remember to always save that
dashboard with the
CHANGEME_HOSTNAMEwildcard in place. I have added a unit testto the system module that checks for that, so it should be relatively hard for
us to forget.
Closes #5276.
