Hello Everyone,

I have installed the xpack in logstash, kibana and ES. After that I am able to see that xpack related indices are shown up in ES. metricbeat is also configured to use xpack. metricbeat is forwarding data to logstash and then logstash is sending this data to ES. logstash has created an index in ES _logstash-2018.06.16_ successfully. But I am not able to see this index in kibana. Monitoring tab of kibana is absolutely working fine. While trying to add the logstash created index in kibana I am getting message `Couldn't find any Elasticsearch data` however when I am clicking on include `system indices`. it's able to find the xpack related indices.

```

I don't think it's authentication related issue between kibana and ES. Since I am running ES on a single node initially my logstash-\* index was showing yellow status I changed the replica count from 1 to 0 for bringing it in green status but no joy.
