  ===  Monitoring Settings
  
  Monitoring is enabled by default when you install {xpack}. You can configure
  these monitoring settings in the `elasticsearch.yml` file.
  
  To adjust how monitoring data is displayed in the monitoring UI, configure
  {kibana-ref}/monitoring-settings-kb.html[`xpack.monitoring` settings] in
  `kibana.yml`. To control how monitoring data is collected from
  Logstash, configure {logstash-ref}/settings-xpack.html#monitoring-settings[
  `xpack.monitoring` settings] in `logstash.yml`.
  
  For more information, see
  {xpack-ref}/xpack-monitoring.html[Monitoring the Elastic Stack].
