Hi, i integrate it an elastics agent 'custom logs' and in the logs section this is the stream
Now i want to parse some information in logstash, ¿how i can send that data to logstash?
Please provide me a detail explanation because im kind of new.
I was wondering an approach for the standalone configuration but im not sure at all

You can configure your stand-alone Elastic Agent with a [Logstash Output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/master/logstash-output.html) to route events to Logstash, and then configure your Logstash pipeline to route the events to Elasticsearch as a data\_stream.

So basically is chnage this fleet configuration in the elastic-agent.yml?
I dont really know what to write in the field of use outputs , the documentations seems a little confuse to me

Ah. Within Fleet. I'm not sure that is supported.

You could spin up a Logstash instance that reads from your Elasticsearch datastream, processes the data, and outputs it to a _new_ datastream.
What are you attempting to accomplish by adding Logstash to the mix?

That is what i want. I've done an integration with an elastic agent but now i don't know how to spin up a logstash instance that reads that data stream, i dont know how to send that data stream to logstash. My data stream is the attached image in the post.
And that's what i want to attemp, send my data stream to process the data.
The generic dataset is generated by the agent 'custom logs'

I haven't done this, but my best guess would be to use the [Elasticsearch input plugin for Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-elasticsearch.html) with a query designed to fetch recent data from a wildcard-pattern index matching your datastream.

Alternatively, you may want to look into using an [Elasticsearch Ingest Pipeline](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ingest.html) to process the data _before_ it is put into the datastream.

Do you think that following the documentation of [Logstash output | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/7.16/logstash-output.html)
Could it work for my purpose?

That is the documentation for Agent that I linked you to earlier. It claims at the top that it does _not_ work with Fleet-managed Agents, and only works with Agent in stand-alone mode. YOu have indicated that you are using Fleet to manage your agents, so I don't believe it will work.
