I am trying to configure Elasticsearch Elastic Agent integration to monitor the elasticsearch cluster as specified here: [Collecting Elasticsearch monitoring data with Elastic Agent | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-elastic-agent.html)  
[Collecting Elasticsearch monitoring data with Elastic Agent | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-elastic-agent.html#_add_elasticsearch_monitoring_data)  
There's a note about having a .monitoring-es\* index, which I just don't have:

I do everything as specified there, but monitoring does not work with elastic-agents (Legacy variant works, but we are not interested in this variant).

I tried on different versions, starting from 8.5\*-8.9\* - the errors are the same, apparently I'm missing something in the configuration.

> Current versions:  
> Version of Elastic v8.9.0  
> Version Elastic-agents v8.9.0  
> eck-operator v2.9.0  
> Elasticsearch integration - v1.9

In the elastic-agent logs I see the following:

> ```auto
> elastic_agent.metricbeat
> [elastic_agent.metricbeat][error] Error fetching data for metricset elasticsearch.node: HTTP error 400 in : 400 Bad Request
> elastic_agent.metricbeat

I would be glad to get advice, if someone has encountered something similar
