Hello everyone,

I have a question, when I enter in the administration part in the “Fleet” option I get the list of agents and their status, in total it tells me that I have X amount of agents.

I was asked to create a dashboard with a counter and list of all the agents but I am finding that the amount the counter shows me is different from the amount the “fleet” shows me.

I am using the field called “agent.name” from the index “.ds-logs-system.system-default-2025.01.xx-xxxxxx”

Does anyone know the reason why the quantities are different?

Does all agents have the `system` integration?

Are all agents sending data without any problem?

On the Fleet page it doesn't check if there is any data for the agent or not.

@leandrojmp

Is this the cause?

No, this is the log for the agent itself.

The `logs-system.system-default` is the data stream for the System integration.

How many agent policies do you have? Does all policies have the System integration? Are you using different namespaces?

@leandrojmp

You are right I have a policy that does not have the integration called “System”.
