Elastic agent does not send logs

Hello,

  • i have problem that i do not receiving logs by elastic agents managed by a fleet.
  • fleet server working fine, and agents connected to fleet server
  • status is "Healthy"
  • i tried different machines, and i had enabled different integrations but problem not solved

what i have missed?

thank u

i have exactly the same problem

everything done correctly with me even port is opened,
but no index created, and no logs got,
but when i tried to install a standalone elastic-agent it worked and given results

Can you both share what versions you are using? Can you share the logs of your Elastic Agent?

Are your ES nodes configured for TLS? If so, you need to specify the CA cert (which should be different from the Fleet cert) in the additional YAML settings for the ES connection.

Hello! First post here, because I'm also looking for solution here.
I have fresh EC2 instance, I'm using Elastic Cloud, so i downloaded TAR of Elastic-Agent, sudo install with enrollment token flag, that comes within Fleet, when Adding Agent. So Agent is enrolled successfully, it is shown as HEALTHY, policy assigned - Default, also tried to create new one, with just systemd / procinfo, but when going to Logs tab, no data is there, I see that there is Datasets - agent, filebeat, metricsbeat & security, but - There are no log messages to display.
When checking logs of metricsbeat, i see that it is collecting CPU info etc, but it is not being sent to EC, although i see logged SSH sessions there via EC, very weird... Please assist.
Log file of elastic agent
