i am using ELK version 6.5.4.
what i did , i changed elastic cluster settings and added as persistent
`xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled : true`
i changed logstash.yml file as
```
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: ["http://localhost:9200"]
xpack.monitoring.collection.interval: 10s
xpack.monitoring.collection.pipeline.details.enabled: true
```
added elastic url in kibana. Now in monitoring option, it only show elasticsearch details
It is not showing logstash
i am not using any ssl settings or security features.

Hi @varun1992,
A few things to check:
1. How do you have monitoring configured? Are you sending monitoring data to a separate cluster or do you have a more monolith setup? If you are, double check that the exporters are setup correctly. You can read more about [this here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/how-monitoring-works.html)
2. Run this query against the ES cluster you are sending monitoring data to:
```auto
POST .monitoring-logstash-6-*/_search
{
"size": 1,
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{
"range": {
"timestamp": {
"gte": "now-2m",
"lte": "now"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
```
1. Do you have pipelines setup and are they working correctly?

Have you tried going through these steps? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-monitoring-overview.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-monitoring-overview.html)

If you start logstash with `--verbose`, you shoudl see lines such as:
```auto
[2019-03-07T09:14:07,023][INFO][logstash.monitoring.internalpipelinesource] Monitoring License OK
[2019-03-07T09:14:07,024][INFO][logstash.monitoring.internalpipelinesource] Validated license for monitoring. Enabling monitoring pipeline.
...
[2019-03-07T09:14:11,247][INFO][logstash.javapipeline] Pipeline started {"pipeline.id"=>".monitoring-logstash"}
```
Can you confirm that you're seeing monitoring actually start when you start the Logstash process with verbose logging enabled?

Are you certain that you are editing the correct configuration file? You could try to ensure this by pointing logstash directly to it with `-f` as in `logstash -f /path/to/logstash.yml`.

is your logstash on the same host as ELK?
you post your data to localhost.

logstash and elastic are in different servers. beat data is indexing ok to elastic from logstash, but monitoring data not indexing

"xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url " is localhost. you should point to your elk instead of localhost

Hi @varun1992,
Similar to @Mike_Place's suggestion above, could you please post the output of `logstash --log.level=debug`. The first 50 lines or so should be sufficient. As before, please **REMOVE ANY PASSWORDS OR SENSITIVE INFORMATION**. Thanks!
