XPack Monitoring Issue

aniaks · January 8, 2020, 10:12pm

In Kibana when i try to enable to monitoring i am getting the following error

" We checked the cluster defaults settings and found that xpack.monitoring.enabled is set to false set, which disables monitoring. Removing the xpack.monitoring.enabled: false setting from your configuration will put the default into effect and enable Monitoring."

However when i get the cluster settings i am seeing that xpack is enabled


{
  "persistent" : {
    "xpack" : {
      "monitoring" : {
        "elasticsearch" : {
          "collection" : {
            "enabled" : "true"
          }
        },
        "collection" : {
          "enabled" : "true"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "transient" : { }
}

Hi, which version of Kibana do you have?

Do you have more than 1 cluster (e.g. a separate monitoring cluster)?

thanks for replying, the problem was due to the space issues. Cluster went to read only after it ran out of space. is there a way to delete indices older than number of days via kibana ? which we can use to avoid the space issues.

In Kibana there is index management: Index management | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic

If you are looking for a more automated solution, there is an API in Elasticsearch called Index Lifecycle Management: ILM: Manage the index lifecycle | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic

I hope that helps!
