Symptoms: There is no information about your cluster on the Monitoring page in Kibana.
Resolution:
Check whether the appropriate indices exist on the monitoring cluster. For
example, use the cat indices command to verify that
there is a .monitoring-kibana*
index for your Kibana monitoring data and a
.monitoring-es*
index for your Elasticsearch monitoring data. If you are collecting
monitoring data by using Metricbeat the indices have -mb
in their names. If
the indices do not exist, review your configuration. For example, see
Monitoring in a production environment.
