Does anyone know what the minimum system requirements (CPU/RAM/Disk) are for Elastic Agent to properly function? I'm running into some issues with some of the smaller systems I manage, and suspect the issues are caused by limited resources, but wasn't able to find any official measures for minimum requirements. ---

We have not document this somewhere. The challenge here is that it depends on what you are running in your Elastic Agent. Do you collect a log file, system metrics, monitor the Elastic Agent itself? Depending on what you do, the resource need is heavily different. Can you share a bit more on what your Elastic Agent is doing and what kind of machines you are using? ---
