I walked into an existing ELK stack and an learning as i go. Ihave a 7.10.1 ELK Stack with around 5K Agents depolyed at 7.10.1 using Fleet. \*\* Understanding DATA Destination \*\* Under the Global Fleet Settings it says. "Global Output: Specify Where to send the Data" there is a Kibana URL and an ElasticSearch URL. Which Destination is actually receiving the data? \*\* Changing DATA Destination \*\* I have been asked if we can send the agent logs through an intermediate KAFKA syslog layer, then following our more standard data log ingesting using Topics/Logstash off of those. Some questions: Are the logs in syslog format from the agents to the data destination? Could i add another data destination in Fleet and push that out to the Agents? Does this approach make sense? thanks all for your thoughts/help on this topic. ![FleetGlobalSettings](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/f/3f8ca09bfbd8ed4e9e772efa98a1da5a60bd7bc0.jpeg) ---
