Hi,

We are creating/updating Tags for VM's from Fleet management UI.

But these tags are not available in Discover section. Is this limitation ?

Thanks,  
Praveen

Tags are a field of agent documents, these are stored in a system index owned by Fleet. In Discover you see the ingested data, that currently doesn't have the agent tags populated on them.

You can apply tags and processors on some integrations - but this would be on a per datastream basis. What we are planning on introducing is that same concept but on a policy basis so that it would apply to all data collected for agents in those policies. You can track this work here: [[Elastic Agent] Support Global processors on a per policy basis · Issue #29459 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/29459)
