I got it!

Thanks to [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/monitoring-logstash/162120), I found out that the commented path for `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts` began with "`https://`", when it was supposed to be "`http://`" (remove the 's'). This was why Logstash was unable to retrieve my license information and failed to fetch my X-pack information from elasticsearch.

My problem was fixed by first correcting the `path.settings` field so Logstash would not ignore my configurations, then correcting the `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts` field. Now Logstash is being monitored like I had hoped!
