I have following in config file but monitoring not getting display in kibana
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: ["http://:9200", "https://:9200"]
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.sniffing: true
xpack.monitoring.collection.interval: 30s
xpack.management.enabled: false
I don't have any security setup yet.
kibana displays itself and elasticsearch cluster fine. what am I missing?

What do your Logstash logs say when you start it up?
My best guess is that that they will be complaining about connecting to Elasticsearch for one of a couple possible reasons:
- one of the URLs given include https scheme, but as you say, security has not yet been enabled on your Elasticsearch cluster.
- the URLs given do not include a hostname; including a hostname (even one such as `localhost`) may help Logstash to find your Elasticsearch.

I remove duplicate connection string and only kept [http://hostname:9200](http://hostname:9200). disable sniffing.
in log file only one error line is with error. everything thing else shows success
[2018-09-26T06:47:47,297][ERROR][logstash.inputs.metrics] Failed to create monitoring event {:message=\>"For path: events. Map keys: [:pipelines, :reloads]", :error=\>"LogStash::Instrument::MetricStore::MetricNotFound"}
Kibana log says

this is fixed.
I didn't had any configuration file in conf.d dir. added sample config file and now I have monitoring showing up in kibana.
