I am having problems monitoring Logstash instances with Metricbeat, to be more precise the problem is with Kibana instance Node tab. Metricbeat service is running with logstash-xpack.yml properly configured, I can `curl localhost:9600` and get a response from Logstash API.  
First of all I get an extra "Standalone cluster" for my Logstash instance that I can live with since I only need the load graphs (tried troubleshooting this - all my versions are correct and I have only one metricbeat index and template).  
The problem is with Nodes tab when selecting a particular Logstash instance, the tab is simply empty and there are console errors.

metricbeat.yml:

```
metricbeat.config.modules:
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
  reload.enabled: false
setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.codec: best_compression

setup.kibana:
  host: "http://x.x.x.11:5601"

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts:["http://x.x.x.24:9200","http://x.x.x.23:9200","http://x.x.x.22:9200","http://x.x.x.21:9200"] 
processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~
  - add_docker_metadata: ~
  - add_kubernetes_metadata: ~

```

Cluster menu:

Selected "Standalone cluster":

Selected Logstash instance:

The overview tab works fine but it displays only input,emit and latency for all the nodes combined, I need everything else that was once available when you would select the node.  
I have tried restarting my whole ES cluster, re-creating Metricbeat index, restarting Metricbeat and Kibana services, there are no errors in logs. The version is 7.11.1. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
