How to configure Management and Monitoring？

[YuYu (Yu)]

Version: logstash 6.2.4 ,elasticsearch 6.2.4, kibana 6.2.4 and all of them with the xpack.

I want to configure centralized pipeline Management and Monitoring for logstash node. The following is my configuration.

logstash.yml

node.name: test
pipeline.id: main
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: "http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200"
xpack.management.enabled: true
xpack.management.elasticsearch.url: "http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200"

elasticsearch.yml

cluster.name: test-elasticsearch
node.name: test-node
node.master: true
node.data: true
......
xpack.security.enaled: false

kibana.yml

server.port: "5601"
server.host: "xx.xx.xx.xx"
xpack.security.enabled: false

There was throwing an error when logstash is startuped.

[FATAL] [logstash.runner ] An unexpected error occured! {:error=>#<ArgumentError: You must set the password using the "xpack.management.elasticsearch.password" in logstash.yml>,.......}

but I had setted the security is false already. Anybody help me ? please....

This feature requires security to be enabled, so is only available with a commercial or trial license as shown under the Logstash section on our subscriptions page.

OK... and monitoring feature requires it too?

[Christian_Dahlqvist]

No, monitoring is part of the free Basic license tier.
