Hi,

may I know why error is showing? As per checking, all nodes of the cluster are joined. I have also configured the exporter and user with kibana and monitoring role.

Hi @arianayay

It looks like you have no monitoring data in the cluster that your Kibana is pointing at least for the last 1 hour. Could you go to `Dev Tools > Console` and provide the output of when you run:

`GET _cat/indices`

Thanks,  
Bohyun

Hi Bohyun,

Please see screenshot below for the indices result.

I have also modified my cluster setting for the interval but the same error still persists. After creating the movies and website indices, I tried to check my monitoring but it is showing 'No Monitoring Data Found'.

Hi All,

Can somebody help me for the issue? May I know how to capture the data I've been throwing to the setup? Thanks!
