Hi,

I am using Elastic Search 5.2.2, Kibana 5.2.2 and X-Pack 5.2.2  
(I referred: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.2/monitoring-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.2/monitoring-settings.html))

I have **main Elastic-Search-Cluster** and different **Monitoring-Cluster** , I have to export monitoring data from my Main cluster to Monitoring cluster.

Which elasticsearch.yml following will reside:

**xpack.monitoring.enabled: true**

So is this meant for **sending monitoring data** or **collecting monitoring data**.

Thanks,  
Amit Sinha.
