I seem to only be getting the node and node\_stats metricsets when I enable the `elasticsearch-xpack.yml` module. Any ideas why? I have tried with and without the `xpack.enabled: true` setting. ---

Hi @chapterthree, welcome to the Elastic Community forums! First off, it would be good to know your goal in using the `elasticsearch` module. Are you using it because you want to use the Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana? Or are you using it to simply index some monitoring data about Elasticsearch and analyze/visualize it on your own? If it's for the Stack Monitoring UI, then you definitely want to enable the `elasticsearch-xpack` module, not the `elasticsearch` module. As for why you are only getting `node` and `node_stats` metricsets, it would be useful to see your Metricbeat logs from the time you start up Metricbeat to about 20 seconds after that. Would you mind posting them here (delimited by ``` so they're easy to read)? Thanks, Shaunak ---

@shaunak thank you for the welcome! I am already doing Stack Monitoring with the non-Metricbeat method (for now) and that is working fine. My primary objective in using the `elasticsearch-xpack` module was to get the `index` metricset. I want to see how fast my indices are growing over time (using Grafana). ```auto 2020-11-24T15:38:57.334-0800 INFO instance/beat.go:629 Beat ID: 4ae785f3-7e93-4a09-8100-66170867db7e 2020-11-24T15:38:57.335-0800 INFO [seccomp] seccomp/seccomp.go:124 Syscall filter successfully installed 2020-11-24T15:38:57.335-0800 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:957 Beat info {"system_info": {"beat": {"path": {"config": "/etc/metricbeat", "data": "/var/lib/metricbeat", "home": "/usr/share/metricbeat", "logs": "/var/log/metricbeat"}, "type": "metricbeat", "uuid": "4ae785f3-7e93-4a09-8100-66170867db7e"}}} 2020-11-24T15:38:57.335-0800 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:966 Build info {"system_info": {"build": {"commit": "5e69e25b920e3d93bec76a09a31da3ab35a55607", "libbeat": "7.7.0", "time": "2020-05-12T00:57:24.000Z", "version": "7.7.0"}}} 2020-11-24T15:38:57.335-0800 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:969 Go runtime info {"system_info": {"go": {"os":"linux","arch":"amd64","max_procs":4,"version":"go1.13.9"}}} 2020-11-24T15:38:57.338-0800 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:973 Host info {"system_info": {"host": {"architecture":"x86_64","boot_time":"2020-11-13T11:42:11-08:00","containerized":false,"name":"es-data-01.ops.xxxxx","ip":["127.0.0.1/8","10.8.73.11/24"],"kernel_version":"3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64","mac":["02:00:0a:08:49:0b"],"os":{"family":"redhat","platform":"centos","name":"CentOS Linux","version":"7 (Core)","major":7,"minor":8,"patch":2003,"codename":"Core"},"timezone":"PST","timezone_offset_sec":-28800,"id":"2fc7130956144a1aa170364ad171ed6b"}}} 2020-11-24T15:38:57.338-0800 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:1002 Process info {"system_info": {"process": {"capabilities": {"inheritable":null,"permitted":["chown","dac_override","dac_read_search","fowner","fsetid","kill","setgid","setuid","setpcap","linux_immutable","net_bind_service","net_broadcast","net_admin","net_raw","ipc_lock","ipc_owner","sys_module","sys_rawio","sys_chroot","sys_ptrace","sys_pacct","sys_admin","sys_boot","sys_nice","sys_resource","sys_time","sys_tty_config","mknod","lease","audit_write","audit_control","setfcap","mac_override","mac_admin","syslog","wake_alarm","block_suspend"],"effective":["chown","dac_override","dac_read_search","fowner","fsetid","kill","setgid","setuid","setpcap","linux_immutable","net_bind_service","net_broadcast","net_admin","net_raw","ipc_lock","ipc_owner","sys_module","sys_rawio","sys_chroot","sys_ptrace","sys_pacct","sys_admin","sys_boot","sys_nice","sys_resource","sys_time","sys_tty_config","mknod","lease","audit_write","audit_control","setfcap","mac_override","mac_admin","syslog","wake_alarm","block_suspend"],"bounding":["chown","dac_override","dac_read_search","fowner","fsetid","kill","setgid","setuid","setpcap","linux_immutable","net_bind_service","net_broadcast","net_admin","net_raw","ipc_lock","ipc_owner","sys_module","sys_rawio","sys_chroot","sys_ptrace","sys_pacct","sys_admin","sys_boot","sys_nice","sys_resource","sys_time","sys_tty_config","mknod","lease","audit_write","audit_control","setfcap","mac_override","mac_admin","syslog","wake_alarm","block_suspend"],"ambient":null}, "cwd": "/", "exe": "/usr/share/metricbeat/bin/metricbeat", "name": "metricbeat", "pid": 32073, "ppid": 1, "seccomp": {"mode":"filter","no_new_privs":true}, "start_time": "2020-11-24T15:38:56.620-0800"}}} 2020-11-24T15:38:57.339-0800 INFO instance/beat.go:297 Setup Beat: metricbeat; Version: 7.7.0 2020-11-24T15:38:57.340-0800 INFO [publisher] pipeline/module.go:110 Beat name: es-data-01.ops.xxxxx 2020-11-24T15:38:57.407-0800 INFO instance/beat.go:438 metricbeat start running. 2020-11-24T15:38:57.418-0800 INFO filesystem/filesystem.go:57 Ignoring filesystem types: sysfs, rootfs, ramfs, bdev, proc, cgroup, cpuset, tmpfs, devtmpfs, debugfs, securityfs, sockfs, dax, bpf, pipefs, configfs, devpts, hugetlbfs, autofs, pstore, mqueue, selinuxfs, rpc_pipefs, binfmt_misc 2020-11-24T15:38:57.418-0800 INFO cfgfile/reload.go:175 Config reloader started 2020-11-24T15:38:57.422-0800 INFO filesystem/filesystem.go:57 Ignoring filesystem types: sysfs, rootfs, ramfs, bdev, proc, cgroup, cpuset, tmpfs, devtmpfs, debugfs, securityfs, sockfs, dax, bpf, pipefs, configfs, devpts, hugetlbfs, autofs, pstore, mqueue, selinuxfs, rpc_pipefs, binfmt_misc 2020-11-24T15:38:57.430-0800 INFO cfgfile/reload.go:235 Loading of config files completed. 2020-11-24T15:38:58.424-0800 INFO [publisher_pipeline_output] pipeline/output.go:101 Connecting to backoff(async(tcp://metrics.ops.xxxxx:10102)) 2020-11-24T15:38:58.429-0800 INFO [publisher_pipeline_output] pipeline/output.go:111 Connection to backoff(async(tcp://metrics.ops.xxxxx:10102)) established ``` ---
