I'm currently bulk importing documents from Filebeat to Logstash to ElasticSearch. My overall indexing rate is about 500-600 /s, but the .monitoring-es-\* index is about 160 /s. Is it normal that the monitoring mechanism is storing 160 messages per second?

I moved your question to #x-pack.  
Do you have a lot of nodes?
