I have changed the jvm.options of my Elasticsearch yml file to min 3GB and max 3GB as shown below to retrieve the heap status.

However, the JVM heap in Elasticsearch in Kibana Stack Monitoring is not updated and it's still the default value (1GB) by which it should be 3GB.

It can take some time for the data to update here, how long ago did you make the change?
