Which is the configuration to monitor via kibana (x-pack on board with elk 6.2.4),
the metricbeat status ?
We don't have the monitoring beat area with this configuration (it's seems to be some conflict between the elasticsearch configuration and x-pack monitoring) :
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output -------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
enabled: true
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
protocol: "http"
username: "metricbeat\_writer"
password: "\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"
....
#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:

If you don't configure the `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch` the values from the output will be taken. If you want to send it to a different host, you have to configure it.
I'm not sure I understood if it's working on your end or not.

My miss understanidng was for comment 😄
Now it's work, I need to add the same configuration for output and monitoring :
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output -------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["10.76.51.14:9200"]
# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.
protocol: "http"
username: "\*\*\*"
password: "\*\*\*"
#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: ["[http://10.76.51.14:9200](http://10.76.51.14:9200)"]
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: "\*\*\*"
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: "\*\*\*"
