::::{tip}
For the best experience with Stack Monitoring, we recommend collecting both `node` and `node_stats`. Turning off either of these will result in incomplete or missing visualizations.

* Make sure that **Metrics (Stack Monitoring)** is turned on, and **Metrics (Elastic Agent)** is turned off, if you want to collect metrics from your {{ls}} instance.
* Under **Metrics (Stack Monitoring)**, make sure the hosts setting points to your {{ls}} host URLs. By default, the integration collects {{ls}} monitoring metrics from `localhost:9600`. If that host and port number are not correct, update the `hosts` setting. If you configured {{ls}} to use encrypted communications, you must access it via HTTPS. For example, use a `hosts` setting like `https://localhost:9600`.
