Hi, trying to set up node monitoring with metricbeat on a single node cluster (i know its best practise to have a monitoring node but this is just for testing etc) i've followed the install and looking at the logs it appears to be capturing data however no indexes are being created and data is not reaching kibana but i can't see any errors in logs to suggest that its failing to reach/contact below is what journalctl is showing me ```auto Nov 11 12:03:45 metricbeat[23957]: 2020-11-11T12:03:45.514Z INFO instance/beat.go:299 Setup Beat: metricbeat; Version: 7.9.3 Nov 11 12:03:45 metricbeat[23957]: 2020-11-11T12:03:45.514Z INFO [index-management] idxmgmt/std.go:184 Set output.elasticsearch.index to 'metricbeat-7.9.3' as ILM is enabled.

Hi, Why do you use port 9300 ? It's usually use by elasticsearch for clustering purpose, by default API is exposed on 9200. Do you have any logs in elasticsearch side ? What's your [logging level](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-elasticsearch.html#_example_configuration_17) ? ---

Ah that was a typo from me trying different things, should be 9200 Logging level is debug and i cant see anything in the elasticsearch logs relating to it ---

What is the output from `_cat/indices?v` against Elasticsearch? ---
