Hi all,
yesterday I setup a dedicated single monitoring node following this guide.
I managed to fire up the new monitoring node with the same ES 6.6.0 version of the cluster, then added those lines to my elasticsearch.yml file on all ES cluster nodes :
xpack.monitoring.exporters:
id1:
type: http
host: ["http://monitoring-node-ip-here:9200"]
Then restarted all nodes and Kibana (that is actually running in one of the node of the ES cluster).
Now I can see today monitoring data indices being sent to the new monitoring external node but Kibana is showing a "You need to make some adjustments" when accessing the "Monitoring" section.
We checked the `cluster defaults` settings for `xpack.monitoring.exporters` , and found the
reason: `Remote exporters indicate a possible misconfiguration: id1`
Check that the intended exporters are enabled for sending statistics to the monitoring cluster,
and that the monitoring cluster host matches the `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch` setting in
`kibana.yml` to see monitoring data in this instance of Kibana.
I already checked that all nodes are pingable each other , also I don't have xpack security so I haven't created any additional "remote_monitor" user.
I followed the error message and tried to add the xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch in kibana.yml file but I ended up with the following error :
FATAL ValidationError: child "xpack" fails because [child "monitoring" fails because [child
"elasticsearch" fails because ["url" is not allowed]]]
Hope anyone can help me in figuring what's wrong.
