The issue is resolved. For the sake of others who would like to do this, here are the settings I made:

My production cluster has the following cluster settings:

```auto
{
  "persistent" : {
    "xpack" : {
      "monitoring" : {
        "elasticsearch" : {
          "collection" : {
            "enabled" : "true"
          }
        },
        "collection" : {
          "enabled" : "true"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "transient" : { }
}

```

My monitoring cluster has the following cluster settings:

```auto
{
  "persistent" : {
    "xpack" : {
      "monitoring" : {
        "elasticsearch" : {
          "collection" : {
            "enabled" : "false"
          }
        },
        "collection" : {
          "enabled" : "true"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "transient" : { }
}

```

And I have configure http exporters in elasticsearch.yml to point to my **Monitoring cluster**.

I have then configured beats and logstash to send the monitoring data to my **Production cluster** , and not the **Monitoring cluster**.

Also, I have disabled kibana monitoring the `kibana.yml`.

```auto
xpack.monitoring.kibana.collection.enabled: false

```

Post this and deleting all the existing `.monitoring*` indices on my **Monitoring cluster** , I was able to view the monitoring data in the Kibana UI.
