Troubleshooting monitoring in Logstash [monitoring-troubleshooting]

Logstash monitoring not working after upgrade [_logstash_monitoring_not_working_after_upgrade]

When upgrading from older versions, the built-in logstash_system user is disabled for security reasons. To resume monitoring:

console

PUT _security/user/logstash_system/_password
{

}

Re-enable the logstash_system user:

console

PUT _security/user/logstash_system/_enable
