[2017-02-28T10:19:24,022][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Running health check to see if an Elasticsearch connection is working {:healthcheck_url=>http://10.1.1.89:9200/, :path=>"/"}
[2017-02-28T10:19:24,029][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Restored connection to ES instance {:url=>#<URI::HTTP:0x1a2e77f7 URL:http://10.1.1.89:9200/>}

```

You MUST add the following config lines to your /etc/logstash/logstash.yml

```
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: http://X.X.X.X:9200

```

Where X.X.X.X is the IP of your Elastic cluster.

EDIT: Clarity
