This is a query to get the number of shards for an index called **products**. We can see that it has 10 shards / 1 replica
And this is what I see in xpack monitoring for that same index, each shard and replica appears twice.
Is this a bug in xpack?

What is the version of xpack ?

We are using ECE, version **6.2.4**.
(Therefore xpack 6.2.4 as well)
It's strange though, when it happens, if I restart the cluster, then it's fixed. But eventually it comes back.
Pretty sure it's just a UI bug.

Can you raise a support issue so we can dig into it?

Looks like I made a wrong assumption here, just because you are using ECE doesn't mean you are a subscription customer as there's an ECE trial period.
I know support is following this one up as well, but the best bet would be to raise an issue on [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) and add the `Monitoring` label. Apologies for the confusion here.

No worries @warkolm, there it is: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19704](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19704)
