AutoOps for self-managed clusters

ECK ECE Self-Managed

For ECE (Elastic Cloud Enterprise), ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes), and self-managed Elasticsearch clusters, AutoOps can be set up through Cloud Connect.

Cloud Connect enables users of ECE, ECK, and self-managed clusters to use Elastic Cloud services. This means you can take advantage of the simplified cluster monitoring, real-time issue detection, and performance recommendations of AutoOps without having to run and manage the underlying infrastructure.

To connect your ECE, ECK, or self-managed cluster to AutoOps, you have to use your Elastic Cloud account to install Elastic Agent. After that, the process can be broken down into three components:

  1. Elastic Agent connects to your ECE, ECK, or self-managed Elasticsearch cluster.
  2. The agent registers your cluster with Elastic Cloud using the Cloud Connect API.
  3. The agent begins to send metrics from your cluster to AutoOps in your selected CSP region.
