I have cluster running 7.17  
and want to setup monitoring cluster with 8.x version

can I use metricbeat 8.x on elastic cluster running 7.17?

they way I understand metricbeat is just going to pull data from cluster/node/index stats and send it to monitoring cluster ( which also runs 8.x)

See [Support Matrix | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility).

TLDR yes.
