Hello there, hope you're doing fine! My question: For configure any custom Namespace to separate ingested Data in its own/specific Data Streams i've seen two different places to do this. One is via the Fleet Policy itself (Fleet \> Policy \> Settings) and the other is via any Integration itself (Fleet \> Policy \> Integration). Does the Policy Settings overwrite the ones configured in the Integrations itself or how is this handled internally? Thanks in advance! Best regards Daniel ---

policy level sets the default (and is applied to the agent monitoring itself). You can use the integration level to overwrite this. ---

so if all integrations had "default" and policy level had "test123" - every datastream (integrations included) have "test123" in the end? ---

> [@daniel-san](#): > > so if all integrations had "default" and policy level had "test123" - every datastream (integrations included) have "test123" in the end? apologies for not specifying enough. No, let me explain: The namespace at policy level is the default set on integrations **when you add a new integration to the policy** , any integration level namespaces always overwrite. Example On policy\_a I have the namespace `cloud`, now I add a new integration to this policy. This integration defaults to `cloud` namespace. But this can be overwritten. On an existing integration you have the `default` namespace, because it wasn't changed from the policy default when it was added. You now set it to `cloud`. From then on **only that integration** will send to the new namespace, everything else within the policy remains unchanged. Additionally when changing a namespace on the policy level, this will only apply to **new** integrations and the agent monitoring if you enable logging and metrics in the policy settings. ---

Thanks for your explanation. Now its clear :). Best regards. ---
