Configuration Examples

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This section contains manifests that illustrate common use cases, and can be your starting point in exploring Elastic Agent deployed with ECK. These manifests are self-contained and work out-of-the-box on any non-secured Kubernetes cluster. They all contain a three-node Elasticsearch cluster, a single Kibana instance and a single Fleet Server instance.

The examples in this section are for illustration purposes only and should not be considered to be production-ready. Some of these examples use the node.store.allow_mmap: false setting which has performance implications and should be tuned for production workloads, as described in Virtual memory.

System and Kubernetes integrations

edit

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/1.8/config/recipes/elastic-agent/fleet-kubernetes-integration.yaml

Deploys Elastic Agent as a DaemonSet in Fleet mode with System and Kubernetes integrations enabled. System integration collects syslog logs, auth logs and system metrics (for CPU, I/O, filesystem, memory, network, process and others). Kubernetes integrations collects API server, Container, Event, Node, Pod, Volume and system metrics.

Custom logs integration with autodiscover

edit

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/1.8/config/recipes/elastic-agent/fleet-custom-logs-integration.yaml

Deploys Elastic Agent as a DaemonSet in Fleet mode with Custom Logs integration enabled. Collects logs from all Pods in the default namespace using autodiscover feature.

APM integration

edit

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/1.8/config/recipes/elastic-agent/fleet-apm-integration.yaml
