https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logs
Looking at our documentation, we are missing sufficient detail:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/infrastructure/guide/current/install-infrastructure-monitoring.html
At a minimum, I think we should add information around:
1. The fact that shippers of versions 6.5 and above are require
2. That users can customize in kibana.yml which index(es) this Logs and Infrastructure UIs looks at.

Research direction
Start with the install-infrastructure-monitoring.html page linked in the issue and review its existing shipper setup guidance. Verify the stated 6.5+ shipper compatibility and the kibana.yml index customization details. Done means the Logs and Infrastructure documentation clearly explains both requirements.
