I add "xpack.monitoring.enabled: true" in elasticsearch.yml. But when I use "curl: Host IP:9200/\_nodes?filter\_path=\*\*.xpack&pretty", it only returns the following:  
"xpack" : {  
"installed" : "true"  
}  
and no further information about xpack. So how can I verify?

I tried again. It works.  
"xpack" : {  
"monitoring" : {  
"enabled" : "true"  
}
