It took me a while to make monitoring with metricbeat working again after the upgrade from 7.17.4 to 8.2.2 (I had to manually delete old .monitoring\* indices).

Anyway, as soon as monitoring started working in Kibana, all 6 nodes of my cluster are marked as master (starred). In this cluster, all nodes can be master (all carry data).

There was a similar issue before:

> The Metricbeat documents always contain the field \`master\` but …the code only checked for existence of the field, not whether it was true or false.

Maybe a regression?

The linked issue has a label "v8.3.0", so I assume it will be released with that version.

Upgraded to ES 8.3.1 the issue is gone.
