hi all,

during the logstash startup i am getting following message.

I don't think i have installed monitoring tools, for either elastic or logstash...

Not sure, what's causing this error and how to fix this.

```
{:code=>400, :
response_body=>"{\"error\":{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"illegal_argument_exception\",\"reason\":\"request [/_xpack/monitoring/_bulk] contains unrecognized parameters: [interval], [system_api_version], [system_id]\"}],\"type\":\"illegal_argument_exception\",\"reason\":\"request [/_xpack/monitoring/_bulk] contains unrecognized parameters: [interval], [system_api_version], [system_id]\"},\"status\":400}"}
```
