I have a single node ELK and would like to use Metricbeat to monitor resource utilization (memory, cput, etc). Are there any drawbacks to installing Metricbeat on my single ELK node?
Hi mate,
I did installed it on some single ELK node, so far so good. One of the installations was on my lab environment, and the other is in a small production environment.
I never read anything about not doing it or being a bad idea.

That's perfectly fine and we actually just released an alternative way of collecting metrics in 6.5 by running Metricbeats locally on the Elasticsearch nodes (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.7/configuring-metricbeat.html).
We do mention some configuration details in the documentation that might be helpful for you, even if there is no dedicated monitoring cluster in the mix.

Speaking of; I could really use some help with this. I followed the guide referenced in the link to the letter; however all I see in the monitoring cluster under the monitoring tab is monitoring information for the monitoring cluster. What am I doing wrong?
@snorris Any chance you could open a new topic?
Of course, doing it now.
