Hello,
Still learning the set up of elastic stack, I am now stuck with metricbeat failing to register my logstash node on Kibana. However I could successfully register and monitor Elasticsearch and Kibana using metricbeat. Only stuck with Logstash.
Here is how my metricbeat monitor page looks like:
As you could see Logstash node is not detected. I followed the set up steps mentioned in the stack monitoring setup page, but in vain.
Here is my logstash.yml file:
_pipeline.batch.size: 125_
- pipeline.batch.delay: 5\*
- node.name: dlmlogstash\*
_path.data: /var/lib/logstash_
- pipeline.id: main\*
- pipeline.workers: 2\*
_path.config:/etc/logstash/conf.d/_
_log.level: info_
_path.logs: /var/log/logstash_
_xpack.monitoring.enabled: true_
_xpack.monitoring.Elasticsearch.username: elastic_
_xpack.monitoring.Elasticsearch.password: passwd_
_xpack.monitoring.Elasticsearch.hosts: ["[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200)"]_
_output.Elasticsearch:_
- hosts: ["[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:5601](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:5601)"]\*
- username: "elastic"\*
- password: "passwd"\*
Here are my metricbeat set ups:
metricbeat.yml:
_metricbeat.config.modules:_
- path: ${path.config}/modules.d/_.yml_
- reload.enabled: true\*
- reload.period: 10s\*
_setup.template.settings:_
- index.number\_of\_shards: 1\*
- index.codec: best\_compression\*
_name: ldxxxxx_
_setup.kibana:_
- host: "xx.xx.xx.xx:5601"\*
_output.Elasticsearch:_
- hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xx:9200"]\*
- protocol: "http"\*
- username: "elastic"\*
- password: "passwd"\*
_processors:_
-
- add\_host\_metadata: ~\*
-
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~\*
-
- add\_docker\_metadata: ~\*
-
- add\_kubernetes\_metadata: ~\*
_logging.level: info_
_logging.selectors: ["_"]\*
_logging.to\_files: true_
_logging.files:_
- path: /var/log/metricbeat\*
- name: metricbeat\*
- keepfiles: 7\*
- permissions: 0644\*
_monitoring.enabled: true_
_monitoring.Elasticsearch:_
logstash-xpack.yml:
_# Module: logstash_
_# Docs: [Logstash module | Metricbeat Reference [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-logstash.html)_
_- module: logstash_
- xpack.enabled: true\*
- period: 10s\*
- hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xx:9600"]\*
- username: "elastic"\*
- password: "passwd"\*
Could you please guide me as to where I should focus in order to rectify this?
Thanks and regards,

Within the logstash.yml file, try changing "xpack.monitoring.enabled: true" to "xpack.monitoring.enabled: false".
I believe that setting is for legacy collection (not metricbeat collection).

Thank you, but this did not fix the issue.
I have disabled xpack monitoring in logstash.yml file.
Also i followed all steps listed in [Collect Logstash monitoring data with Metricbeat | Logstash Reference [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html)
However this doesn't fix my problem.
In fact, my Kibana cluster overview does not show any Logstash nodes!
Is there anything else I should look at?
Thanks and regards,
