In a single indexer cluster, where should the Monitoring Console (MC) be installed?
The Monitoring Console (MC) should be installed on the cluster master node in a single indexer cluster, provided that the load on the master node is within acceptable limits. This centralizes monitoring and is often recommended unless specific conditions dictate otherwise, such as heavy load or SmartStore usage, which might necessitate hosting the MC on a dedicated search head.

Otherwise, run the monitoring console on a search head node that is dedicated to running monitoring console searches. If you are using SmartStore you must host the monitoring console on a dedicated search head.
