Elastic Agent Setup

Use when the user wants to collect logs, metrics, or security data with Elastic Agent.

1. Prompt

  • Identify OS (Linux, Windows, macOS) and data sources: files, metrics, network, security.
  • Confirm they have an Elasticsearch cluster and Fleet (Kibana) or a standalone Elastic Agent policy.

2. Provision

  • Ensure Fleet is enabled in Kibana (or they have an agent policy URL and enrollment key).
  • Use cluster tools to verify connectivity; use Cloud tools if they need a project first.

3. Integrate

  • Guide them to download and install Elastic Agent (packages or Docker).
  • Enroll the agent: Fleet UI in Kibana, or elastic-agent enroll --url=... --enrollment-token=....
  • Add integrations (e.g. Logs, Metrics, Nginx, MySQL) from Fleet or policy YAML.

4. Validate

  • Confirm agent shows as healthy in Fleet; check that data streams appear in Elasticsearch.
  • Use list_indices or Kibana Index Management to see new indices from the agent.
