Centrally manage Elastic Agents in Fleet
editCentrally manage Elastic Agents in Fleet
editFleet currently requires a Kibana user with All
privileges on
Fleet and Integrations. Since many Integrations assets are shared across
spaces, users need the Kibana privileges in all spaces. Refer to Required roles and privileges to learn how to create a user role with the required privileges to access Fleet and Integrations.
To learn how to add Elastic Agents to Fleet, refer to Install Fleet-managed Elastic Agents.
To use Fleet go to Management > Fleet in Kibana. The following table describes the main management actions you can perform in Fleet:
Component | Management actions |
---|---|
Configure global settings available to all Elastic Agents managed by Fleet, including Fleet Server hosts and output settings. |
|
Enroll, unenroll, upgrade, add tags, and view Elastic Agent status and logs. |
|
Create and edit agent policies and add integrations to them. |
|
Create and revoke enrollment tokens. |
|
(Elastic Defend integration only) Access tokens to allow uninstalling Elastic Agent from endpoints with Agent tamper protection enabled. |
|
View data streams and navigate to dashboards to analyze your data. |
