Updated licence from trial from basic, installed x-pack in all of ELK stack, and there is no Monitoring panel in Kibana.  
GET /_cat/indices/.monitoring\* shows

What's wrong? Documentation says that everything should work out of the box with no properties in .yml files

Hi 80c1141eb6d0c564dd90,

Considering that there are no `.monitoring-kibana-6-*` indices, I assume that you need to install `x-pack` into Kibana, in addition to having installed it into Elasticsearch.

Hope that helps,  
Chris

I meant to include this link, but I got excited and hit Reply too quickly.

Here's the instructions for installing X-Pack into everything that supports it: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html)

It is already installed: "installed x-pack in all of ELK stack".  
Here is a proof from terminal below =)
