So i got ELK stack v7.3 which was released yesterday and ES came without xpack security which i really didnt mind. But now im on kibana trying to create a monitor but when im trying to select which data to show i get nothing, i tried both the graph visualization and query. at first i thought there was no data but there are logs and i can see them in the discover tab, i can clearly go thru all my logs, but why isnt any of them showing up in the monitor?

[Update]

i cant even create triggers, webhooks/destinations or even monitors for some reason??

what is going on here, really need some help!

thanks in advance!

Hey @ghaith,

I am facing the same issue while creating any monitor. Did you find any workaround for this?

Thank you

Did you install opendistro\_alerting plugin for Elasticsearch?  
What do you see when you inspect?

Check your install plugin:

> **[Standalone Elasticsearch Plugin Install](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/plugins/#remove-plugins)**
>
> Documentation for Open Distro, the community-driven, 100% open source distribution of Elasticsearch OSS with advanced security, alerting, deep performance analysis, and more.

```auto
sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin list

```

Hi @ghaith and @gopal_m,

Like asikarwar pointed out, you need both the kibana alerting and alerting plugins installed. One is for Kibana and the other is for Elasticsearch. Do you have both of these installed?

Hi @dbbaughe,

Yes. Figured it out later. Thanks to you & @asikarwar. Now the alerting plugin is working fine. But facing issues while installing the security plugin.

We have ES (w/o OSS) & Kibana installed and trying to install ODFE plugins on top of it. Alerting plugin seems to be working fine.

Do we need to have OSS Elasticsearch for the security plugin to work?
