Hello All,

I am trying to monitor my Elastic stack consisting of metricbeat,filebeat,heartbeat and logstash stats to be monitored in discover. Somehow I implemented metricbeat monitoring reading docs using modules.d folder that has beat-xpack.yml and logstash-xpack.yml.  
Below are the indices created in stack management, but unable to make data view to view the index data in DISCOVER to see the stats and make kibana visualization using them.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanx

Hi @Jason_Paralta

What version?

You need to allow "hidden and system indices"
