Hi,
I have 2 separate ES clusters. One is dedicated to monitoring. I followed these instructions
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-production.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-production.html)
On the monitoring cluster I have "metricbeat-7.8.1-2020.08.14" indice populated by with data sent by metricbeats elasticsearch module.
I want to create a dashboard, but I can't find any elasticsearch dashboard template in the list.
With merticbeats, I have launch the command "./metricbeat setup --dashboards" with success, but still no dashboard for elasticsearch in the list.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Dominique

I don't think it loads any special dashboard.
you need to go to "stack monitoring" it is heart looking icon on left pan.

Sachin,
I tried this also.
I went in "Stack Monitoring" and I have the messsage " No monitoring data found".
When I click on "Set up monitoring with Metricbeat", I have the following error message "Setup mode is not available. You do not have the necessary permissions to do this."
Elastic security features are disabled.

None. I am not prompted for login.
I have these settings
- xpack.license.self\_generated.type=basic
- xpack.security.enabled=false
I don't want enable any not free feature.

yes that is fine. but you should look in to it. basic license is free and has so many feature, like
tenent-user setup which will be very useful.
anyway do you have enable metricbeat collection true and legacy monitor false? because you can use only one at a time
```
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled": true
}
}
this one disables old style collection.
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.collection.enabled": false
}
}
```
you can execute this from kibana developer tool
then stop start everything if you only on test systems. you can also put this on all elasticserach.yml file

Sachin,
I just did this on the monitoring cluster and restart everything.
Now, on the monitoring cluster I have acces to monitoring of my local monitoring cluster + 2 metricbeats but only with few system metrics. I still can't see any monitoring data related to my production elasticsearch cluster (event if the "metricbeat-7.8.1-2020.08.14" collection contains informations related to shards, docs, ... of the remote production cluster).
Anyway thank you for your help.

Did you use this module - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-elasticsearch.html)?

Hi Warkolm,
Yes I did.
I work under Docker with docker-compose in order to implement this architecture :
- one production cluster without any monitoring (Kibana is used only for Stack Managment and Dev Tools)
- 3 es container
- 1 kibana container
- 1 metricbeats container for es module
- 1 metricbeats container for system module
- one monitoring cluster (monitor the production server)
- 2 es container
- 1 kibana container
Reference :
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-production.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-production.html)
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-metricbeat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-metricbeat.html)
According to Sachin response, my question is not anymore about finding a Kibana dashboard for ES Cluster monitoring, but about correctly visualize production cluster monitoring informations under the "Stack Monitoring" of the monitoring cluster. I can't find ES metrics, but only few system metrics.
Everything is here : [https://github.com/bejean/docker-elasticsearch-cluster-monitoring](https://github.com/bejean/docker-elasticsearch-cluster-monitoring)
