Hi All,  
Hostname is set in Elasticsearch and Kibana configurations , but still Kibana stack monitoring is showing only IP address of nodes.  
Is there any way to show host name also of nodes in stack monitoring in Kibana ?  
Thanks

I personally installed metricbeat on each node.  
Then i used relevant metricbeat modules.

For example:  
None 1: elasticsearch  
Node 2: elasticsearch  
Node 3: elasticsearch, kibana

Then i tested metricbeat

```auto
./metricbeat test config
./metricbeat test elasticsearch
./metricbeat test kibana

```

I also used elasticsearch as output. You can test it as  
`./metricbeat test output`

If everything works use your service and start metricbeat like  
`sudo systemctl start metricbeat`

Then open stack monitoring and click on Enter Setup Modr on top right. You will see the metrics.
