Hi,
I've setup Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash using [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/installing-elastic-stack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/installing-elastic-stack.html)
I activated monitoring from Kibana monitoring UI.
then I tried configuring the logstash internal collection of monitoring data ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-internal-collection.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-internal-collection.html)) by adding the `xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true` in elasticsearch.yml config, then the `xpack.monitoring.enabled: true`and `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]` in logstash.yml
But there is no logstash monitoring index created in Elasticsearch, and no data displayed in Kibana monitoring...
Any clue please?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Did you secure elasticsearch? If so, you will need to add security to the logstash elasticsearch output.

No, in the simple installation guide there is no security
So I didn't set any
It's supposed to work as well without authentication right?

Do you have any defined pipelines? The stack monitoring UI will not show any logstash monitoring data if it does not detect any pipelines.

Hi Chris,
I do have a "main" pipeline, but I'm running logstash with a -f file.conf
not using multiple pipelines, not using central management either

Ok, you can do this to see if get stats:
`curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/stats/events?pretty'`
Any errors in logstash or elastic logs? Is logstash processing events that are getting to elasticsearch?

Try running this query against the monitoring cluster and return the results:
```auto
POST .monitoring-logstash-*/_search
{
"size": 1,
"sort": [
{
"timestamp": {
"order": "desc"
}
}
],
"query": {
"term": {
"type": {
"value": "logstash_stats"
}
}
},
"collapse": {
"field": "cluster_uuid"
}
}
```
