{major-version} also works with production clusters that use the same major
version. Monitoring clusters that use {major-version} also work with production
clusters that use the latest release of {prev-major-version}.
* There must be at least one <<ingest,ingest node>> in the monitoring
cluster; it does not need to be a dedicated ingest node.
