Hi, I am am looking to add some custom data through the integrations used by elastic agents.
For example, when I manually use metricbeat I can send through static custom fields using
processors:
- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~
- add\_docker\_metadata: ~
- add\_kubernetes\_metadata: ~
- add\_fields:
target: project
fields:
name: project1
type: 'Web'
country: UK
location: 'location X'
in the metricbeat.yml file. This is the same for filebeat.
Can I replicate this functionality using the Elastic agent?
