Hi,

I have a problem, because I have two clusters, one of these clusters (cluster1) has xpack security enabled, and the other one doesn't have security enabled (cluster2). The problem is that I want to monitor cluster1 in cluster2. I saw in the documentation that " monitoring.ui.Elasticsearch.username - authenticated user’s credentials, which must be the same on both the Elasticsearch monitoring"

Is it possible to connect this clusters, one of them without security?

Best regards,  
Aitor
