Hi all -

So I've recently got the Elastic Stack setup and running. Decided to go install the Fleet Server, and then install a handful of Elastic-Agents on Windows Server(s) to gather some logs and metrics. From the looks of it, everything is configured properly, yet there are zero logs (aside from the Fleet-server's logs) in Kibana or Security. See below for logs of one of the Elastic-Agents running on Windows Server 2016 (this is from service start to "running configuration"):

Thanks for trying Fleet and Endpoint Security, I'm sorry it's not working right now.

Do you have Agents showing up in the Agents tab in Fleet? I would look something like this.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/2/92c3dfa9217ca83fe7fa22f95e2a91e18c182d7f.png)

If so, can you verify that Endpoint is installed correctly? Based on your Agent logs, I believe that it is, but can you verify to be sure? One easy way is to go to one of your host servers where the Agent is installed and look for the existence of this directory.

Windows:  
`c:\Program Files\Elastic\Endpoint`

If that exists, can you check the Endpoint logs? You can get them like this:  
As administrator copy the contents of `C:\Program Files\Elastic\Endpoint\state\log` to another directory outside of `Elastic` and open the log file there. (This is required because of Endpoint self protection.).

The Endpoint logs will have information about the documents that it streams to Elasticsearch. You should see logs similar to the below:

```auto
{"@timestamp":"2021-11-09T11:22:15.169061Z","agent":{"id":"43b96062-707e-4747-be6f-d8a759acb15c","type":"endpoint"},"ecs":{"version":"1.11.0"},"log":{"level":"info","origin":{"file":{"line":227,"name":"BulkQueueConsumer.cpp"}}},"message":"BulkQueueConsumer.cpp:227 Sent 48 documents to Elasticsearch","process":{"pid":3547,"thread":{"id":1493030}}}

```

Let me know if you see that or if you see anything other errors. I'm also happy to take a look at your logs myself if you are OK with sharing them.

Hope this helps

</div>

So, it seems that the Endpoint is trying to reporting to **127.0.01** but the ES host is on a different IP. I had tried changing the output in **elastic-endpoint.yaml** but after restarting the agent is reverted back to **127.0.0.1**.

Can you check the settings you have in the Fleet UI? You can specify Elasticsearch outputs there.

Go to "Fleet \> Settings" . Does your desired ES output appear under "Outputs" ?

It looks something like this

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/2/523b5d762fa4626a2c89b56e39762218057f59e9.png)

If you do not see your expected output there, can you try adding it? Your Agent policies should pick it up automatically, but you may want to try redeploying if you don't see data coming through after 10 min or so.

The Agent configuration will overwrite the settings in `elastic-endpoint.yaml`, so it's important that it's set appropriately at the top level. There's more info in the docs here: [Centrally manage Elastic Agents in Fleet | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/manage-agents-in-fleet.html)

Let me know if this helps

It does show the output, but when I try to change anything it shows this:

</div>

This is blocked because the output was configured by the "Security on by default" features in Stack 8.0. You can edit the configuration that was automatically generated in your `config/kibana.yml` file.

@mostlyjason Wonder if we should have a better flow for this since users are almost always going to want to change the hostname to a public (non-localhost) one.

I had tried doing that by setting the Elasticsearch.hosts to the static IP of the machine. After restarting kibana, it would just failed/refuse to connect

You'd need to change the `hosts` parameter inside the `xpack.fleet.outputs` array to update this Fleet setting, not the `elasticsearch.hosts` parameter (which is used for the connection between Kibana and ES)
