We have three cluster. Kiibana, Monitoring, ES Compute/data. We are able to get monitoring from Compute cluster to Kibana but unable to link to dev tool.

We tried the suggestion provided here:

> [@Point Kibana 'Dev Tools' to remote ES cluster](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/point-kibana-dev-tools-to-remote-es-cluster/100768/2):

> I'm pretty sure you could use Cross Cluster Search. See the docs below. You would configure the monitoring cluster to give access to the compute cluster. Then in the Dev Tools Console you would use an index pattern that includes the remote cluster name like compute:my\_index [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-cross-cluster-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-cross-cluster-search.html) Let me know if you need help with it. Regards, Lee

And doc:

> **[Remote clusters | Kibana Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/working-remote-clusters.html)**

> **[Search across clusters | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/modules-cross-cluster-search.html)**

@LeeDr I hope you might help me here.

I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you in advance.

Regards,
