Hi!

I follow the instruction about installing and setting up logstash monitoring. No errors.

I using cloud ES and Kibana.

When I navigate to Monitoring - nothing happends - "No Monitor Data Found", but when I go to Dev Tools - I found logstash monitoring index, and it size increases.

Why monitoring tabs didn't work? May be I delete some visualizations? What should I test?

Here is logstash config

> node.name: test-node
> 
> xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
> xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: "elastic"  
> xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: "%mypass%"  
> xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: "%url%"
> 
> cloud.id: %myid%  
> cloud.auth: %login%:%myauth%

I think that monitoring data are in elasticsearch, beacuse I see monitoring indexes, and there size are increases, but I didn't know how to see monitoring data

Everything looks fine.

What does `_cat/indices?v` show? Is there anything in the Elasticsearch logs?
