Monitoring data not found

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a basic, dummy setup of ES (1 master, 4 data nodes), Kibana (on a separate node) and Xpack. All version 5.0.1 with xpack.security.enabled set to false.

I'm able to see a "Monitoring" section on Kibana but it always says "No Monitoring Data Found". I'm clearly missing some basic config but I'm not sure of what it is that I'm doing wrong. I also added

action.auto_create_index: .security,.monitoring*,.watches,.triggered_watches,.watcher-history*

to elasticsearch.yml (defaults for the rest) on all nodes but that didn't do the trick.

kibana.yml is set to all defaults except for xpack.security.enabled and elasticsearch.url (pointing to master).

Any ideas?

After much debugging, realized that the problem was because I had node.ingest set to false. If I'm not interested in the node.ingest feature of ES5 (so I'm not directly using it), is there a downside to having it turned on in terms of efficiency?
