Hi,

We have 3000 virtual machines where we have installed elastic agent and they are sending metrics.

Now we want to tag around 500 VM's as **PROD** so that we can build dashboards only for this prod vm;s. What is the best way to apply tags only to the specific VM's, we dont want to push through the configuration while pushing elastic agent. We need flexibility to apply tags from UI.

Thanks,  
Pravyn
