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-quickstart green 3 3 8.17.0 14s fleet-server-quickstart green 1 1 8.17.0 19s
-
List all the Pods belonging to a given Elastic Agent specification.
kubectl get pods --selector='agent.k8s.elastic.co/name=elastic-agent-quickstart'
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-t49fd 1/1 Running 0 54s elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-xbcxr 1/1 Running 0 54s elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-zqp55 1/1 Running 0 54s
-
Access logs for one of the Pods.
kubectl logs -f elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-xbcxr
- Configure the policy used by Elastic Agents. Check Elastic Agent policies for more details.
