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](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200/)"  
> xpack.management.enabled: true  
> xpack.management.elasticsearch.url: "[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200](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](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).

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