Check Configuration Examples for more ready-to-use manifests.
ECK automatically configures secure connections between all components. Fleet will be set up, and all agents are enrolled in the default policy.
-
Monitor the status of Fleet Server and Elastic Agent.
kubectl get agent
NAME HEALTH AVAILABLE EXPECTED VERSION AGE elastic-agent green 3 3 8.16.1 14s fleet-server green 1 1 8.16.1 19s
-
List all the Pods belonging to a given Elastic Agent specification.
kubectl get pods --selector='agent.k8s.elastic.co/name=elastic-agent'
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE elastic-agent-agent-t49fd 1/1 Running 0 54s elastic-agent-agent-xbcxr 1/1 Running 0 54s elastic-agent-agent-zqp55 1/1 Running 0 54s
-
Access logs for one of the Pods.
kubectl logs -f elastic-agent-agent-xbcxr
- Configure the policy used by Elastic Agents. Check Elastic Agent policies for more details.
