Deploy Elastic Agent to send data

Elastic Agent is a single agent for logs, metrics, uptime, security data, and threat prevention. You deploy the agent to your hosts or containers, and behind the scenes, Elastic Agent it runs the Beats shippers or Elastic Endpoint required for your configuration. The shippers are managed by Elastic Agent — you do not install or configure them individually.

Prefer to use our legacy Beats for your use case? Refer to Deploy Beats to send data.
