Kibana instances page status show stale

All instances are green. alerts are clear. Last seen a few secs ago.

We added 2 more Elasticsearch nodes yesterday.

I believe during the process Kibana instances are shutdown and new Kibana instances are launch

BUt how do we reset the status to green.

Hey thanks for reaching out.

It would help if you could illustrate that with a screenshot of what you're seeing.

Thanks

Thanks @Whoami1980 that helps!

Would you mind [opening an issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md) to report this so we can investigate?

Also make sure to mention what is the value of the `monitoring.ui.kibana.reporting.stale_status_threshold_seconds` [kibana setting](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/kibana/configuration-reference/monitoring-settings#monitoring-ui-settings)
