I am so crazy confuse on this setup. can't seems to make it work.
this is my test setup that I am trying and getting more confuse every min.
here is my configuration.
monitor cluster:: elkdev11
monitoring cluster: elkdevmon11
monitor cluster:
Metricbeat config file
```auto
metricbeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml --> I only have only have elasticsearch-xpack.yml file here
reload.enabled: false
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["elkdevmon11:9200"]
username: "remote_monitoring_user"
password: "remote"
```
module elasticsearch-xpack.html
```auto
- module: elasticsearch
metricsets:
- cluster_stats
- index
- index_recovery
- index_summary
- node_stats
- shard
- node
xpack.enabled: true
scope: node
period: 60s
hosts: ["http://elkdev11:9200"]
username: "remote_monitoring_user"
password: "remote"
```
once I do this I can see data coming in to **elkdevmon11** , I created data view and I can see proper data on discover tab as well.
but part I am confuse is how to go to kibana stack monitoring on elkdevmon11 and see this data. it is not working.
I want to use kibana on monitoring cluster.
here is kibana config - elkdevmon11
I know I am doing something wrong here.
```auto
server.port: 5601
server.host: "elkdevmon11"
server.name: "elkdevmon11"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://elkdevmon11:9200"]
elasticsearch.username: "kibana_system"
elasticsearch.password: "kibana"
xpack.fleet.agents.enabled: false
server.publicBaseUrl: http://elkdevmon11:5601
telemetry.optIn: false
monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false
monitoring.ui.enabled: true
```
What am I missing or misconfigure?

yes I have gone through document few time over. missing some name somewhere or has wrong name devmon11 to dev11.
I am getting all data in to monitoring cluster that part is working.

```auto
metricbeat modules enable elasticsearch-xpack
Module elasticsearch-xpack is already enabled
```

while doing all this I had following in my elasticsearch.yml which I remove
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.collection.enabled
