Hello,  
I am trying to move over to metricbeat monitoring running 7.10 eveywhere

I have Filebeat -\> logstash -\> elastic main cluster

filebeat node metricbeat -\> monitoring cluster  
logstash node metricbeat -\> monitoring cluster

What decides which cluster the metricbeat data is associated with ?

I see my logstash data appearing associated with the main cluster which is what I want. However the filebeat metrics appear as a standalone cluster

tried  
xpack.monitoring.cluster\_uuid in filebeat.yml  
and  
monitoring.cluster\_uuid in metricbeat.yml

how do I tell either filebeats or the filebeat plugin in metricbeats that this should be labeled/tagged against the main cluster uuid

Thanks  
Stuart

Found it! Just in case anyone else gets stuck  
filebeat.yml

```auto
monitoring:
   enabled: false
   cluster_uuid: THE UUID

```
