I fixed it by commenting out the following in /etc/logstash/logstash.yml and restarting logstash:

> path.data: /var/lib/logstash  
> path.logs: /var/log/logstash  
> xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
> xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: logstash\_system  
> xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: password  
> #xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts: ["[https://10.XX.XX.222:9200](https://10.XX.XX.222:9200)"]

Logstash now appears in Stack Monitoring on Kibana.

Thank you for the support Badger. Your last entry clued me into what could be the problem.
