I was able to configure logstash 6.7.1 to enable monitoring and it's successfully showing up in Kibana. However the host name is incorrect, it defaults to 127.0.0.1:9600 and 127.0.0.1:9601 for all 3 nodes in my cluster. Am I missing something? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/c/6c8837365a5b2a8f43b5acf0f66208bec3be5add.png) ---

This is the defaul behavior, `127.0.0.1` is the default value for the setting `http.host` in the `logstash.yml` file. The `http.host` variable is the metrics REST endpoint, used for get the monitoring metrics, if you do not specify an ip address, it will bind to the localhost ip, which is `127.0.0.1` . If you want it to show another ip address present in the server, you will need to set this variable to that ip address. Got the above solution from [leandrojmp] ---
