Configure inputs for standalone Elastic Agents

edit

The inputs section of the elastic-agent.yml file specifies how Elastic Agent locates and processes input data.

By default Elastic Agent collects system metrics, such as cpu, memory, network, and filesystem metrics, and sends them to the default output. For example:

inputs:
  - type: system/metrics
    data_stream.namespace: default
    use_output: default
    streams:
      - metricset: cpu
        data_stream.dataset: system.cpu
      - metricset: memory
        data_stream.dataset: system.memory
      - metricset: network
        data_stream.dataset: system.network
      - metricset: filesystem
        data_stream.dataset: system.filesystem

If use_output is not specified, the default output is used.
