Dear All,

I am unable to find any relevant instructions on how to enable monitoring of beats that are enrolled in central management.

I have tried adding the monitoring configuration in the output section of tags. But this did not work.  
Anyone who has been successful at this please.

Regards,  
Ankit

Hi @ankitsynX. I spoke with some of the Central Management developers and I was informed that enabling monitoring for Beats via Central Management is not supported.

Thanks Mike! Hoping it gets released the official version of central management.
