Ive deployed a elk stack with elastic kibana and fleet server, all going smooth using self-gen self-created certs for transport all the way and my own ssl in front via ingress
version 6.2.1
created with elk operator in k8s 1.25.5
im not using any proxy just nginx ingress
i get logs metric everything ! but at random times like every x 30-45 min agent goes offline for short time then comes online again
this is the log from the agent
and no there is NO connectvity error on the network, did alot of testing and benchmarking
