Hello:
I inherited the PROD environment of ELK 7.1.1. I do not see the Stack Monitoring option in Kibana.
If I'd have the fresh install of the same version of ELK then I do see such an option. What am I missing or what should I do to enable it? Many thanks in advance.
Kindly,
Roman

7.1 is very much past [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and you should look to upgrade urgently.
You need a Basic license or higher for this functionality, so I would start by checking that.
