Hello,

I'm trying to set a monitoring cluster up to monitor Elastic Stacks from our different customers. Each stack is in a different version.

To begin with, I tried to set a 7.10 Metricbeat to send data for a 7.3 Logstash into a 7.10 cluster.

I can see that the events are getting there (metricbeat-\*) but this is what I get when I try to check Logstash in the Stack Monitoring screen:

So, in general, can I monitor older stacks in a newer one? What could the problem for this particular scenario be?

Thank you

By the way, it says here it should be compatible:
