MetricBeat not creating monitoring-es index

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I have installed metric beat and it is running successfully not errors in logs

metricBeat.yml elasticsearch output
output.elasticsearch:
##Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["10.216.204.70:9200", "10.216.204.73:9200"]
##Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

When I click on monitoring tab on kibana no data is being displayed as no monitoring-es* index is created
but .monitoring-kibana* index are present
green open .monitoring-kibana-6-2020.01.29 zPQWG7ElTnKdOZW1ML9XcA 1 0 8643 0 2.5mb 2.5mb

Why monitoring es index are not being created?
Elasticsearch version is 6.5.4
KIbana 6.5.4
metricBeat 6.5.4

Hi!

Maybe you are missing some configuration. I would suggest going through the respective docs and check if there is something missing in the configuration.

i have checked the configuration and the same configuration is running on my local machine but i dont know what is missing over the qa system that it is not generating monitoring-es indices.

Here are the configs
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
##Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["10.216.204.70:9200", "10.216.204.73:9200"]

Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

##protocol: "http"
##username: "elastic"
##password: "changeme"

Hi,

It is solved now, it worked after setting

elasticsearch" : {
"collection" : {
"enabled" : "true"
}
},

elasticsearch.collection was not enabled
