. Confirm that {kib} is seeking monitoring data from the appropriate {es} URL.
By default, data is retrieved from the cluster specified in the
`elasticsearch.url` setting in the `kibana.yml` file. If you want to retrieve it
from a different monitoring cluster, set `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url`.
See <<monitoring-settings-kb>>.
. Confirm that there is monitoring data available at that URL. It is stored in
indices such as `.monitoring-kibana-*` and `.monitoring-es-*`. At a minimum, you
must have monitoring data for the {es} production cluster. Once that data exists,
{kib} can display monitoring data for other products in the cluster.
. Set the time filter to “Last 1 hour”. When monitoring data appears in your
cluster, the page automatically refreshes with the monitoring summary.

If {kib} can't activate monitoring, here are some things to do:
* If you don't have permission to activate monitoring,
contact your system administrator.
* If {kib} can't find monitoring data, set the time filter to
“Last 1 hour”. When monitoring data appears in your cluster, the page
automatically refreshes with the monitoring summary.
