Hi Team, We already have a ELK solution running in our environment for Log analytics, If we need to use Elastic Cloud Enterprise setup basically the Cloud UI self service portal for the existing solution, is it supported, Can ECE discover the existing ELK deployment and start managing it?

Unfortunately not - Elastic Cloud Enterprise only manages stack deployments that it has provisioned (note also that it won't manage Logstash deployments - the recommended architecture is beats-ingest nodes; of course lots of people still use Logstash and run it as a separate service)

It is therefore necessary to spin up a similar cluster inside ECE and then migrate the data across
