At first I thought it was due to legacy monitoring still active, I switched to metricbeats in any case, but it still does not show the events in the processing pipeline.

The overview screen shows received and emitted events counts alright.

ES,LS,KI 7.10

**UPDATE**

Looks like the issue is the following:

- We have two nodes running logstash, usually the second one is pretty much inactive and exists for HA purposes
- Pipeline on both nodes is called "main"
- When I go to Stack Monitoring -\> Logstash -\> Nodes -\> Node 1 -\> Pipelines -\> main, and compare that URL to the one of Node 2 it is the same.  
This leads me to the conclusion that only the pipeline of Node 2 is ever shown, for which it is correct that there are 0 e/s as explained above.  
Is this a bug?

(Workaround: I have renamed the pipelines on both nodes to be unique)

Hi @holobolo0815 ,

I'm not quite sure if it's a bug, as the `id` is the unique identifier for the pipeline. If there are two of the same `id`, the UI isn't designed to handle that. Perhaps worth filing an [enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md). It might be helpful to have an out-of-the-box alert for this to let the user know they should change one of the `id`s

I am not sure what is unique here and what not, in any case: When in both logstash instances the pipeline is called "main", then the link to pipeline stats looks like this both times:

[http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main?\_g=(cluster\_uuid:n9u\_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)](http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main?_g=(cluster_uuid:n9u_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)))

Obviously, when I rename the pipeline, one link becomes

[http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main01?\_g=(cluster\_uuid:n9u\_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)](http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main01?_g=(cluster_uuid:n9u_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)))

and the other: [http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main02?\_g=(cluster\_uuid:n9u\_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)](http://kibana.example.com:5601/app/monitoring#/logstash/pipelines/main02?_g=(cluster_uuid:n9u_qiS1S9-abCdEfgHijk,refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now)))

Now I have no idea what cluster\_uuid is and how it is related since logstash doesn't have a notion of cluster AFAIK.
