Hi,  
For some reason Kibana doesn't show anything in monitoring menu:  
"We couldn't activate monitoring  
No monitoring data found. Try setting the time filter to "Last 1 hour" or check if data is available for a different time period.

If data is in your cluster, your monitoring dashboards will show up here."  
Logs menu is empty as well:  
"Looks like you don't have any logging indices.  
Let's add some!"

But logs are inside ant discover, visualize and dashboards menu work just fine.

Reading different post i checked that xpack is on,  
GET /\_cluster/settings  
{  
"persistent" : {  
"xpack" : {  
"monitoring" : {  
"collection" : {  
"enabled" : "true"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"transient" : { }  
}

I have even installed metricbeat on logstash and chanched two options:  
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch: "[http://elasticsearch:9200](http://elasticsearch:9200)"

and nothing, any ideads?

Which version is this on ? Is there a proxy interjecting in between ? Also do ES logs have any monitoring data ? Can I get the response from `http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices` ?  
Can you change the data to last 7 days or so and check again ?

Thanks  
Rashmi
