Hi,

Is it possible to know the connection status of the beats in Kibana? Stack Monitoring include statistics and the active beats, but not malfunctioning beats.

Example Active Beats: Stack Monitoring --\> Cluster --\> Beats Overview

Is there an API to get beats status or last event sent?

Thanks,  
Arturo.

I think you can find the event rate at this page: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/beats-page.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/beats-page.html)

Thanks Marcin,

So, I understand that I can get that info from ".monitoring-beats\*" indices, no?
