Loos like this was disccused before: [Can not open Stack monitoring](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-not-open-stack-monitoring/237772/40)

This seems to help: Can you try setting `monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false` in your `kibana.yml` file and trying to load the UI?

Thank you for your reply, now I found the problem

Because someone added a remote cluster, but the connection failed. It is not shown in `GET/_remote/info` , so I did not pay attention to it. Can be seen in `GET /_cluster/settings`

Remove the failed remote cluster in `GET/_cluster/settings` and it will return to normal

Thank you for your reply

Configuring `monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false` can indeed solve the problem, but it is not the root cause. The root cause is that the remote cluster connection failed
