Monitoring sidepanel item not showing despite basic license being installed

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

es _xpack says {"build":{"hash":"7763f8e","date":"2016-10-26T04:51:59.202Z"},"license":{"uid":"44741fd0-xxxx,"type":"basic","mode":"basic","status":"active","expiry_date_in_millis":1508284799999},"features":{"graph":{"description":"Graph Data Exploration for the Elastic Stack","available":false,"enabled":true},"monitoring":{"**description":"Monitoring for the Elastic Stack","available":true,"enabled":true},"**security":{"description":"Security for the Elastic Stack","available":false,"enabled":true},"watcher":{"description":"Alerting, Notification and Automation for the Elastic Stack","available":false,"enabled":true}},"tagline":"You know, for X"}

yet for some reason the tab is missing from XPack sidebar in Kibana .

tried restarting both ES and Kibana - and nothing interesting in syslog
ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS + latest 5 ES and kibana from the apt repo.
the configs are pretty simple for both - just localhost and port.
