Hi All,

Logstash 5 has now a monitor api but I cannot seems to find any project / dashboard / plugin for this functionality. I have install x-pack and I seen the elasticsearch stats and such but no logstash info..

Does anybody have any info on this?

Regards,  
Paul.

Version 5.2 of X-Pack contains a [Logstash plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html) which feeds statistics to Elasticsearch so that it can be viewed through X-Pack Monitoring.

So I have installed x-pack on my logstash nodes as well and added the appropiate settings in the logstash.yml file but I does not show up in kibana -\> monitor.

Any idea why this is.

Paul.
