Hi,  
I have configured metricbeat on a logstash instance to send xpack metrics to a remote elasticsearch cluster. The metrics are being shipped and indexed and are accessible via the kibana monitoring view. However, they appear under a second cluster name "Standalone Cluster".

Why is this? And how do I prevent it?

Thx  
D
