I'm trying to setup metricbeat, the service on Elasticsearch node started successfully, sending data, no problem. Kibana shows that metrics index was created and there are some information saved but when i try to migrate from selfmonitoring to metricbeat i see in wizard that there is no data.

Did you enable the Elasticsearch Module? otherwise metricbeat will just collect System Metrics
