# Kibana status metricset
This is the `status` metricset of the Kibana module. This status endpoint is available in 6.0 by default and can be enabled in Kibana >= 5.4 with the config option `status.v6ApiFormat: true`.
The intention of the Kibana module is to have a minimal data set that works across Kibana versions.
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

## Fields
