Hello everyone,

I manage Elastic agents using Fleet server. All agents of a certain type have a uniform policy that I prepared for them in Fleet. Sometimes there is a situation where I need to change a setting in the policy for a specific agent.

Is there a way for me to do this without affecting the other agents (editing the general policy) or a way that I don't have to start creating a new policy for each agent that requires a change?

Any change in the policy will be applied to all the agents on that policy, there is no way to make a change that will affect just one or a couple of agents.

In these cases you would need to create a new policy for each specific configuration you need and then move the agents between the policies.

Also, keep in mind that this can result in a little data duplication as the inputs will be seen as new inputs and will start collecting data again.
