Hi,

A little background:  
I have setup elastic and kibana on an aws eks system. I am now trying to setup the aws custom integration piece. I have created the s3 bucket, sqs and a role with all the necessary permissions and the integration configs seems to save correctly. When I upload the a file to the s3 bucket no data ever comes through. I noticed that even though there is an agent policy created there is no elastic agent associated with the integraiton.

I think this is where my issue begins. I don't have a fleet server or agent deployed. I have gone through a lot of the documentation trying to get this setup but it always seems to want to install the server/agent on a different machine and not the EKS cluster. This is my first time setting up elastic and kibana so apologies if this is a really newbie issue.

Things I have tried:

- Downloading and installing a standalone agent per [Install standalone Elastic Agents | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.13/install-standalone-elastic-agent.html)

- Running a modified version of the file found at ([Quickstart | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-elastic-agent-fleet-quickstart.html))

Either way I don't seem to get any errors on the cli but a Fleet server and agent never show up in the kibana interface either.

If someone could point me in the right direction or has any idea piece I am missing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
