I found that in **Basic License** version, in **Alerting** section, **Full stack monitoring** is enabled/ **open-sourced**.

I found **NO supporting document** which explains what kind of data/metrics is available for Full stack monitoring.

Can anyone provide/explain it? Thanks in advance !

Hi Sundar,

I'm missing clarity here. Are you asking about the `Monitoring` in the Kibana left menu item?

Full stack monitoring means, monitoring Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beats. This is not infrastructure monitoring. This monitoring of the system (Elastic Stack) which is storing your data.

If so, here is the documentation for the [stack monitoring](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-monitoring.html)
