I've seen Kibana ES cluster monitoring where **multiple clusters are listed** and you can pull up a variety of useful charts for them and dig down into node info, etc. Great stuff. I think this is the "multi-stack monitoring" that's listed as a Gold license feature.

Is it possible with a Basic license to monitor a _single_ cluster with this interface? Is this what's meant by the "full stack monitoring" feature of the basic license, the same interface as the "multi-stack" monitoring, but limited to one cluster?
