I just upgraded a test cluster to 6.3.1 (Kibana and Elasticsearch). I was trying to verify the health of the cluster by going to the Monitoring section of Kibana (which was working on the previous Basic license). But now it says:
> Your trial license has expired
I only have the following xpack settings in Kibana and Elasticsearch:
```
xpack.security.enabled: false
xpack.ml.enabled: false
xpack.graph.enabled: false
```
The license appears to be set:
```
andy@kibana:~$ curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_xpack/license"
{
"license" : {
"status" : "active",
"uid" : "9ed658fb-e77d-490a-a734-00b93195ecb7",
"type" : "basic",
"issue_date" : "2018-07-06T00:19:55.131Z",
"issue_date_in_millis" : 1530836395131,
"max_nodes" : 1000,
"issued_to" : "logs",
"issuer" : "elasticsearch",
"start_date_in_millis" : -1
}
}
```
Should the Monitoring section be available with the new 6.3 Basic licensing?

Hi,
From which version did you upgrade to 6.3.1? Monitoring is definitely available for a single cluster with basic licensing.
If you could also let us know which distribution you are using - I will try to reproduce it in my local.
Thanks,
Bhavya

Actually, I may have just needed to wait a while for things to settle. I just checked it again and it is working as designed. Thanks for the reply.
