Hello.

I am trying to setup metricbeats in my ELKStack setup atm.  
And I am currently only trying to use the Beat's module to monitor my filebeat/auditbeat/journalbeat etc..  
How ever after successfully deployed it I am not seeing the "Beats" part under "Stack Monitoring"  
(I am sending data via Logstash from metricbeat in to ES/Kibana not via ES directly)  
Anybody have any suggestions on what I could have missed?

my metricbeat config looks like this.

```
 metricbeat.max_start_delay: 10s
metricbeat.modules:
- module: system
  enabled: false
- module: beat
  metricsets:
    - stats
    - state
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["http://localhost:5065","http://localhost:5066","http://localhost:5067","http://localhost:5068"]
  xpack.enabled: true
output.logstash:
  enabled: true
  hosts: {{ bls_logstash_hosts | to_json }}
  ssl.certificate_authorities:
    - {{ metricbeat_logstash_tls_ca }}
  ssl.certificate: {{ metricbeat_logstash_tls_crt }}
  ssl.key: {{ metricbeat_logstash_tls_key }}

```

It seems my .monitoring-beats-7-mb is missing or has not been created.  
I can see my metricbeat trying to push to that index but when I do

**curl [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices/.monitoring\*?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices/.monitoring*?v)** its not present

```
