Hello,

I am currently trying to set up Elastic Stack. After i've installed elasticsearch, kibana and enrolled my elastic-agent to the fleet server i can see that my agent looks healthy in kibana but when i click view agent dashboard all i see is elastic\_agent.process not found. Can anyone help me with this problem.

Thanks In Advance. Have A Nice Day!

Was the agent installed as root? Are there any errors in the agent's logs?

Can you restart the agent through the service manager and provide the fleet-server logs?

Hello,  
I've restarted the elastic-agent fleet-server status is now healthy. But the problem persists.

Just to confirm, after a restart fleet-server appears healthy, but there is no data from the agents into ES?  
Can you check the output settings in Kibana?
