Hi @GustavoPires

Just to clarify you want to update the elasticsearch output used by Fleet correct?  
You can do it from the Settings tab in the Fleet plugin in Kibana or in the `kibana.yml` file if you defined it there.

Yes, I am trying to set another node for default send **agent integrations** and **agent monitoring** , in the fleet settings, if I flag these items they show me the error below:

```auto
Error while saving output

Preconfigured output fleet-default-output cannot be updated outside of kibana config file.

```

At the kibana.yml, if I try to change the IP address for the node I want, my Kibana crash.

</div>

Instead of change the IP address, I change **true** for **false** in parameters in the **xpack.fleet.outputs** (Kibana.yml), configuration below:

```auto
xpack.fleet.outputs: [{id: fleet-default-output, name: default, is_default: **false** , is_default_monitoring: **false** , type: elasticsearch, hosts: ['https://x.x.x.x:x'], ca_trusted_fingerprint: }]

```

Now it is possible change it in the Fleet settings tab, I hope it's right.

Hi @GustavoPires,

If you remove the `xpack.fleet.outputs` and the `xpack.fleet.agents.elasticsearch.hosts` you should be able to edit through the UI

Understood, can you help me with another problem, is it possible I create my own `xpack.fleet.outputs` and `xpack.fleet.agents.elasticsearch.hosts` in the Kibana file (instead of these configurations that are automatically generated)? Another question, when I create an agent policy (agent policies tab) inside the Fleet menu, I can't select another **Outputs** , only the default, how can I change this? Do I have to change this at the **Settings** tab and change the default **agent integrations** and **agent monitoring**? Thanks in advance.

You can make the output created in `xpack.fleet.outputs` the default (by adding `is_default` and `is_default_monitoring` in your kibana config file.

Or you can select an output per policy in the UI but for this you need to have at least a `platinum` licence.
