Hello @lisiyu,
First, I would like to better understand the architecture you are using in order to achieve the goal of monitoring. Note that in production environments Elastic recommends using a separate monitoring cluster. You can see information about it [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.14/monitoring-overview.html) . Is your monitoring cluster the same device that host Kibana and Elasticsearch?
When this "Something went wrong" error showed up? Is it once you click "Stack Monitoring" or any specific option in this view?
Did you [Installed and configured Metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.14/metricbeat-installation-configuration.html)?

Thanks for your reply.
I refer to this doc. [Enabling monitoring xpack in Elastic Search 7 - Visualizing Logstash pipelines in Kibana - ZYLK](https://www.zylk.net/en/web-2-0/blog/-/blogs/visualizing-logstash-pipelines-in-kibana?_com_liferay_blogs_web_portlet_BlogsPortlet_showOnlyIcons=true&scroll=_com_liferay_blogs_web_portlet_BlogsPortlet_discussionContainer)
When I open the kibana home page,this wrong have show .I removed `xpack.monitoring.enabled: true` config. This wrong disappear . I can't fine "Stack Monitoring" page
Metricbeat is work

Hello @lisiyu,
Thanks for the details.
Did you enable [minimal security for elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-minimal-setup.html#security-minimal-setup)? The article you shared informs it is necessary.

Do I have to enablen the security function? Because it's a test environment, I don't want to enable it.

Hello @lisiyu
Thanks for your response.
Well, as you can see in the article you shared it informs:
> For enabling (you need to have security xpack enabled first to define the application usersset)
So yes, you need to enable security function. If your concern is with the license, you can use a trial license and when it ends you can go back to basic license. See more info [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.14/managing-licenses.html) and [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54079501/running-elastic-without-the-trial-license)
You can enable your trial directly in the console [http://localhost:5601/app/management/stack/license\_management](http://localhost:5601/app/management/stack/license_management) or through command line as follows:
```auto
curl -X POST "http://localhost:9200/_license/start_trial?acknowledge=true&pretty"
```
You might need to change **localhost** for your host IP address depending on your environment.
Let me know if this answer your question,
Regards,

I don't think that's the problem.
In my mac,I tried to start kibana and elasticsearch on docker.This is config:
kibana.yaml:
```auto
xpack.security.enabled: false
monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true
```
elasticsearch.yaml:
```auto
xpack.security.enabled: false
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true
```
It is working:
But the same config setting on test environment,it's not work.Kibana show `Definition of plugin "monitoring" not found and may have failed to load` .I don't know what is the probelm.

I solved the problem.
Because the Kibana static files were slow to load, I added a `CDN agent` before the domain name and cached the static files, including `.js` files, so the `Monitoring plugin` never loaded. So stack Monitoring is not displayed. Thanks for your responses.
