Hi @WenhaoXu Welcome to the community. In order for monitoring to work you need to set it up. There are 2 ways to do it a legacy/ deprecated method which is ok if you just want to look and see or by setting up the appropriate collection method. You can read about monitoring [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitor-elasticsearch-cluster.html) ---

hi stephenb ,When I used to use Kibana to monitor data, I didn't do much configuration. After installing Kibana, and then configuring the basic information to connect Elasticsearch, I can monitor it . is 8.2.3 version new feature? ---

@WenhaoXu So when you logged into Kibana and Went to Monitoring the First time did you select this? ![Screen Shot 2022-09-05 at 7.01.07 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/f/af462cbd55dcc42c1539cce008bbc6fc48f418b3.png) And then you clicked this? ![Screen Shot 2022-09-05 at 7.02.58 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/b/fb9539f09c74cc1b624f10629c604a754d44de53.png) I did that and I got this... on an Default Installation of Kibana and Elasticsearch on the Same Host. ![Screen Shot 2022-09-05 at 7.04.30 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/1/e1c259ad040b1a9bd828f222ae5e437371fd6f45.jpeg) If so that should work, unless you changed something else... To be clear that is the legacy / soon to be deprecated method but it should work for now. If you have made other settings changes that could affect the outcome. ---

yes , i do ,and A month ago, it was able to monitor data . today I clone the kibana source code ,and find /api/monitoring/v1/clusters logic ,I found that kibana will search .monitoring-es\* index with "type": { "value": "cluster\_stats" }, and when I search with kibana dev tools ,it found no data ,but in my local env ,I can find data ,I think the reason is .monitor-es\* index not log cluster stats info ,then monitor no data . how can let .monitor-es\* log cluster stats? ---

Apologies... I don't understand. > [@WenhaoXu](#): > > I clone the kibana source code ,and find Are you having trouble with an existing cluster or a new cluster? Did you upgrade? Are you trying to build from source? What changed? ---

not upgrade ,I set up new elasticsearch and kibana , the flow is 1 . I build 8.2.3 elasticsearch and kibana a month ago , and kibana monitor runs ok , 2. yesterday ,I find the kibana cannot monitor data, and I try to find reason . I compare the bad monitor env with my local env kibana , find they request clusters info different ,they all request api /api/monitoring/v1/clusters ,but my prod env get no data response ,and local can got . 3 . in order to know how did the api work ,I clone the kibana source ,and find the api logic , find that when request "/api/monitoring/v1/clusters " ,kibana will request a query for .monitor-es\* index. query param had {"type": { "value": "cluster\_stats" },} 。 4 。then I use kibana dev tools to search .monitor-es\* with query params ,local env will return cluster stats info ,but bad kibana return nothing , I think this is the reason why kibana monitor no data found , 5 . now I want to find why elasticsearch not report cluster stats into .monitor-es\* ---

In the environment That was working. Were you monitoring more than one cluster? Were you using a trial license? I asked because monitoring one cluster is part of the basic license, but if you're more monitoring more than one cluster from a single UI that requires a license. ---

monitor one cluster, and thanks for your reply , I think i find the reason , it is not kibana side error, elasticsearch not collect cluster stats into .monitoring-es\* , but I don't know how to fix it ---

Hi @WenhaoXu Check out this tutorial I made about monitoring the Elasticsearch cluster with Metricbeat. Maybe it'll help you find the problem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1T_dhhlX7xw?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLe0UsEbF-5meLIZJaAOF5QDKey-v1PEvw Also, this tutorial to enable legacy monitoring for the Kibana instance: https://www.youtube.com/embed/JoXZQnkRJz8?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLe0UsEbF-5meLIZJaAOF5QDKey-v1PEvw ---

I had a similar problem, and I thought I'd share in case it's useful for someone else: 1. Even if Kibana and Logstash are sending their monitoring data (`.monitoring-logstash*` and `.monitoring-kibana*`), the data will not appear until Elasticsearch sends monitoring data (`.monitoring-es*`). That's mentioned in the second point [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/monitor-troubleshooting.html#_no_monitoring_data_is_visible_in_kibana). 2. If the metricbeat instance that is collecting data from your Elasticsearch has set `scope` to `node`, then each Elasticsearch instance needs to have its own metricbeat. E.g. if 2 Elasticsearch instances are being monitored by metricbeat and 1 instance is not, then Kibana will not show the monitoring data. Therefore all Elasticsearch instances need to be monitored. See [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-metricbeat.html) for information about the `scope` configuration. ---
