Hi,  
where to find the event log (especially the log of a standalone agent where an integration is behaving abnormally)?

The event log is in the data directory on the client which is os-specific [Installation layout | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/installation-layout.html)

The easiest way to get the event log on an elastic agent is to generate an agent diagnostic from fleet [Monitor Elastic Agents | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/monitor-elastic-agent.html#collect-agent-diagnostics)
