Hello all, i just started up my cluster for the first time, it is composed of 2 data nodes and 1 master node, then i started up kibana, but i am having these warnings:

```auto
    log [16:40:30.928] [warning][kibana-monitoring][monitoring][monitoring][plugins] Unable to bulk upload the stats payload to the local cluster
    log [16:40:40.955] [warning][kibana-monitoring][monitoring][monitoring][plugins] Error: [export_exception] failed to flush export bulks

    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1145:12)

```

i don't know what these warnings mean and i don't know if should i pay attention or not.

The kibana.yml is:

```auto
    server.host: "10.70.0.5"
    server.name: "kibana001"
    elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://10.70.0.2:9200","http://10.70.0.3:9200","http://10.70.0.4:9200"] 

```

**Note** : Kibana is running on a separate server

Elasticsearch.yml:

```auto
    # ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
    cluster.name: sysad-prod  
    # ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
    node.name: prod-master-1
    # ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
    path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch/data

    path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
    node.master: true 
    node.voting_only: false 
    node.data: false 
    node.ingest: false 
    # ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
    bootstrap.memory_lock: true
    # ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
    network.host: 10.70.0.2
    http.port: 9200
    # --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
    discovery.seed_hosts: ["10.70.0.2", "10.70.0.3", "10.70.0.4"]
    cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["prod-master-1", "prod-data-1", "prod-data-2"]
    # ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
    gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3 
    gateway.recover_after_time: 10m
    xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true

```

For the other 2 Elastic nodes is the same config, the only changes are the name of the node and that the other 2 nodes are data nodes as well

Just finally i have not started logstash yet

I kindly suggest you to check the monitoring docs if you found some missing steps: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/monitoring-settings-kb.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/monitoring-settings-kb.html)  
If you are not using the monitoring you can probably remove the ` xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true` flag from the elasticsearch.yml files to clean that error
