well - unfortunately i do not have the best internet connection an installing the updating the agents via fleet takes a lot of time.

Is it possible to use a local repository instead so that the agent does not have to be downloaded each time.

Hello,

you could try to use an internal webserver from which to download the agent binaries. For this you have to set the Agaent Binary Source in the Fleet UI:

> **[Fleet UI settings | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide \[8.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/fleet-settings.html#fleet-agent-binary-download-settings)**

In the paragraph is also the link how to setup an air-gapped environment (which is basically what you are trying to do): [Air-gapped environments | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/air-gapped.html)

How this helps already.
