We are looking at depoying fleet server within our ECK env. We're currently using ECK 1.8 and ELK 7.15.1. When I deploy Fleet the pod just continuously crashes with the below logs

We use an Ansible playbook to deploy all teh ECK resources. We currently deploy Elastic, then Kibana, then Fleet server last.

The Jinja template used to deploy Fleet server is

```auto
apiVersion: agent.k8s.elastic.co/v1alpha1
kind: Agent
metadata:
  name: fleet-server
  namespace: default
spec:
  version: {{ docker_versions.elastic_7_version }}

Hey @legoguy1000, thanks for your question.

I don't think ECK sets `--fleet-server-port`, so it's likely coming from somewhere else. If you still having this issue, could you run [GitHub - elastic/eck-diagnostics: Diagnostic tooling for ECK installations](https://github.com/elastic/eck-diagnostics) and report the results either here or at [eck@elastic.co](mailto:eck@elastic.co)?

Thanks,  
David

Thanks. I have played with it since I posted. I'll see if I can try it again and try the diagnostic tool.
