Hello,

we receive the below error after installation of a cluster without xpack

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/b/fbe0606977f58b0aca1ef90a94c651609dcbb156.png)

```
[root@elastic1 metricbeat]# curl localhost:9200/_cat/nodes?v

```

is it because of the cluster?

Thank you

@manosmustang are your elasticsearch clustering, where the kibana instance reporting this error is connected to, running the basic license? The stack monitoring is only available starting in the basic license.

More info here: [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)

Cheers

You can just curl the same elasticsearch clustering where the kibana you were experience problems on is connected with the following:

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/\_license"

assuming that `localhost:9200` is your elasticsearch cluster
