Hi, I managed to set up Fleet-managed Elastic Agent on a host. I installed the System integration so the Elastic Agent gather logs and metrics. The agent is healthy according to the Fleet's Agents page on Kibana. However, it seems like I must configure the Filebeat and Metricbeat YML files under the Elastic Agent directory for it to be able to send logs and metrics to the cluster. I had to set `hosts`, `username`, and `password` under the `output.elasticsearch` section and restart the Elastic Agent for the cluster to receive data. I was under the impression that there would be a place to configure it on Kibana but I couldn't find it. Could someone explain what is missing? Thanks! ---
