I have a similar question tothe one posted by souravsahoo "[Cluster\_stats not sent to monitoring cluster](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/cluster-stats-not-sent-to-monitoring-cluster/243402)" but no answer was posted. I am having something similar to where I have installed metricbeats on a production cluster and configured them to send events to a monitoring cluster. Yet I can't see the cluster info on the monitor cluster. The monitor cluster was seeing it's nodes but I did not enable monitoring on it since I have a basic license and only want to monitor the production cluster with the monitor node.

If I look in the logs from a datanode of the prod cluster I am not sure if I am seeing cluster type events, yet the beats elasticsearch-xpack.yml is enabled.

below is a sample of the logs:

my elasticsearc-xpack.yml is basically the default with the username and password provided to access the node.

I have also ran the below to verify that it is enabled on the prod cluster and it is set to true.

I can also see the prod data node metrics via metrics.
