=== Monitoring UI
Use the https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/monitoring[monitoring feature in
X-Pack] to view metrics and gain insight into how your Logstash deployment is
running. In the overview dashboard, you can see all events received and sent by
Logstash, plus info about memory usage and uptime:

Then you can drill down to see stats about a specific node:

NOTE: A Logstash node is considered unique based on its persistent UUID, which
is written to the <<logstash-settings-file,`path.data`>> directory when the node
starts.
Before you can use the monitoring UI,
<<configuring-logstash, configure Logstash monitoring>>.
For information about using the Monitoring UI, see
{kibana-ref}/xpack-monitoring.html[{monitoring} in {kib}].
