{metricbeat}]. Ideally install a single {metricbeat} instance configured with
`scope: cluster` and configure `hosts` to point to an endpoint (e.g. a
load-balancing proxy) which directs requests to the master-ineligible nodes in
the cluster. If this is not possible, and the cluster does not use dedicated
master-eligible nodes, then install one {metricbeat} instance for each {es}
node in the production cluster and use the default `scope: node`. When
{metricbeat} is monitoring {es} with `scope: node` then you must install a

be collected. {metricbeat} with `scope: node` collects most of the metrics from
the elected master of the cluster, so you must scale up all your
master-eligible nodes to account for this extra load and you should not use
this mode if you have dedicated master nodes.

. Enable the {es} module in {metricbeat} on each {es} node.
