I am running Elk stack 7 and I am not seeing any data on the monitoring tab. Any idea how I can trouble shoot this issue.

Hi @syedsfayaz - So changing your time filter still returns no results?
If you use the dev tools and run `GET _cat/indices`, do you see a `.monitoring-*` index listed there?

Okay, so there's definitely monitoring data then -- do you have a `.monitoring-kibana-*` index as well?
Do you see any data if you adjust the time filter?

I also see data for kibana. But even after adjusting the time filter I don't see any data on dashboard.

In your `kibana.yml`, do you have any `xpack.monitoring` settings set?

I don't see any settings for xpack.monitoring. Do I need a license to enable xpack.monitoring. I was able to see this in ELK 6.7 with out adding any settings. I remember seeing the monitoring after upgrading to 7 as well. But recently its not working.

You do need a license for Monitoring. I'm pretty sure you have it, though, but just to double check can you run the following query in Kibana Console?
```auto
GET _license
```
> I remember seeing the monitoring after upgrading to 7 as well. But recently its not working.
Interesting. Can you think of anything that changed recently, after upgrading to 7?
Finally, would you mind posting the results of this query as well?
```auto
POST .monitoring-es-*/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": {
"term": {

```
Thanks,

I upgraded my ELK stack from 6.7 to 7. I was running my beats still in 6.7 . I have upgraded few of them which are running both 7.0 and 7.1 versions. Do I need to add xpack monitoring settings in kibana.yml?

No, you don't need to do this, unless you're using a separate cluster for storing your monitoring data (which it sounds like you aren't). I asked about this earlier just to understand your setup.
Looking at the results of your queries, all looks good to me. @chrisronline Any ideas why the Monitoring UI might still be showing the "no data" page in this case?

Using the cluster uuid from above, try and go to this page:
\/app/monitoring#/overview?\_g=(cluster\_uuid:\)
Check the kibana logs assuming the page doesn't work and let me know if it reports any error
