Hi Team,

I installed logstash version 7.4.2 in through Kubernetes

my elastic cluster and kibana running well.

If I see the monitoring in kibana dashboard, its showing only elastic cluster and kibana but its not showing logstash.

I configure below setting logstash.yml file in logstash for monitoring

xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts: [https://test.com:243](https://test.com:243)  
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: xxxxx  
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: xxxxxxx

logstash logs are showing below like this.

[2020-01-22T10:53:04,552][ERROR][l.o.elasticsearch] Encountered a retryable error. Will Retry with exponential backoff {:code=\>400, :url=\>"[https://test.com:243/\_monitoring/bulk?system\_id=logstash&system\_api\_version=7&interval=1s](https://test.com:243/_monitoring/bulk?system_id=logstash&system_api_version=7&interval=1s)"}

Could you please suggest this.

Thanks and regards,

Are you targeting the elasticsearch REST port? (9200 is standard).

Are there any corresponding errors in the elasticsearch logs?

FYI it appears that monitoring is moving toward using metricbeat modules instead of this method we have all used in the past. I encountered this in a 7.5 QA stach but haven't researched yet.

Are there any errors in the logstash logs?

It may be ssl certificate validation.
