Elastic Agent vs Logstash/Elasticsearch output

Elastic Stack Elastic Agent
1

Hello,

We are thinking of replacing Beats with Elastic Agent and would like to send metrics to Elasticsearch directly and custom logs via Logstash. Is this even possible with Elastic Agent? Looking at Fleet settings the outputs are set per policy, not integration which would mean it's not but be good to get a definite confirmation.

Thanks

Hello!

Logstash output is only supported for Standalone Elastic Agent, as per the docs.

In standalone mode you get a parameter called use_output which you can configure per integration/input. I have never used different outputs but from config it seems totally supported.
