Hi, I understand that logstash is not part of ECK. Can you advise on the recommended strategy on ingesting data from your kubernetes app into elastic when its deployed using ECK? ---

There are of course many ways to ingest data in to Elasticsearch but the recommended way for many Observability use cases would be Beats. We have a recipe how to set up Filebeat and Metricbeat with ECK in our [recipes section](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/tree/master/config/recipes/beats) in the Github repository. The upcoming release of ECK 1.2 will improve the situation further by supporting Beats as first class component in ECK. You can take a sneak peak at what is coming in our [pre-release docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/master/k8s-beat.html). Of course you can run Logstash as well but you would have to setup the connection to the Elasticsearch cluster managed by ECK yourself. We have an [official Helm chart](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts) for Logstash that can get you started. ---
