I was wondering if it is possible to change the index (pattern) which Kibana uses for the UI under "Stack Monitoring". As far as I see we can already do this for filebeat (for Kibana) via monitoring.ui.logs.index so I was wondering if we can do exactly that for the cluster, nodes & index monitoring. As far as I understand it goes to .monitoring-es-* by default.
Backstory is that we would like to collect several metricbeat logs into different metricbeat indices with different ILM policies on a different cluster. As we can already specify a remote monitoring cluster configuring the index the UI reads from is the last missing piece.
With everyone (sooner or later) moving to metricbeat now instead of internal monitoring, it makes sense to save the metrics in different indices if you have different clusters (to have different retention times e.g. or just a cleaner setup) and using a separate cluster for storing these indices.
Currently as far as I see it's a paid feature to monitor several clusters through one Kibana. Though we would not require this, we would just like to store metrics from different clusters in one cluster, but observe them from individual Kibanas.
