I tried to add the setting to allow me to see the monitoring data local and send it to a monitoring cluster.
PUT \_cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"xpack.monitoring.exporters.cloud\_monitoring.type": "http",
"xpack.monitoring.exporters.cloud\_monitoring.host": "MONITORING\_ELASTICSEARCH\_URL",
"xpack.monitoring.exporters.cloud\_monitoring.auth.username": "cloud\_monitoring\_agent",
"xpack.monitoring.exporters.cloud\_monitoring.auth.password": "MONITORING\_AGENT\_PASSWORD",
"xpack.monitoring.exporters.local\_monitoring.type": "local"
}
}
As per the directions... tho it did not work...
I should have added this to the .yml to test it first
Now I cannot access Kibana:
