Cluster overview not working

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,

I am currently on version 8.19.8 and am preparing to first upgrade to the latest version of 8.x and then to 9.x.

In “Upgrade Assistant,” I set out to remove the warnings I had, and when I got to the last one related to xpack monitoring, I got lost along the way.

The first thing I did was reverse the change because I need to keep a close eye on monitoring.

So, I would appreciate it if you could explain what I should do after I disable this monitoring xpack next time, so that I can then monitor with metricbeat what is seen in the wizard or Fleet through Elastic Agent, but that's as far as my understanding goes.

I currently manage three servers for Elastic, one for Logstash, one for Kibana, and one for Fleet Server.

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with step-by-step instructions or suggestions on how to proceed.

Thank you in advance.

xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled is the built-in metric collection in Elasticsearch. Also known as the legacy collection method. This is replaced by using Metricbeat + Filebeat to collect logs instead which requires additional set-up if you have not done so. (elastic agent can be used instead of manually setting up these beats).

You can remove this config parameter from elaticsearch.yml once you are configured using new monitoring.
