Hi,  
I am running Elasticsearch cluster on basic license of ES-6.2.4.  
To collect logstash monitoring data through metricbeat - 6.2.4 - I enabled metricbeat module of logstash in /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/logstash.yml and restarted metricbeat service. However there is no monitoring data getting indexed.  
I referred to below document but document is for higher versions, there is no procedure document for ES-6.2.4 --  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html)  
Could someone please help me by sharing steps to enable logstash monitoring.  
Thanks,  
SNJY

Hi @SNJY,

[Logstash monitoring using Metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.3/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html) is only available since 7.3, in older versions you can use internal monitoring. Take a look to the instructions here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/configuring-logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/configuring-logstash.html)
