Hello all,  
We currently use fleet managed elastic-agents to collect logs from a variety of data sources. We would like to store our secrets that we use for agent policies as a kubernetes secret and use the [kubernetes\_secrets](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/kubernetes-provider.html) provider. Is this provider supported for fleet managed elastic-agents?

The documentation is a bit sparse on this topic.

Hello,

As far as I know kubernetes\_secrets provider is not supported by Fleet.  
Secrets are stored by Fleet internally if the integration supports it, see this issue for the list of integration secrets: [[Meta] Migration to secret variables · Issue #8610 · elastic/integrations · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/issues/8610)

Thanks Julia. Are other providers like the `env` provider supported by fleet managed agents?

I got some help from my team:

> The providers all work with Fleet managed agents, they are on by default.  
> `${kubernetes_secrets.<default>.<somesecret>.<value>}` should work in a Fleet managed agent policy. You can try entering that through the integrations configuration UI, which in theory should work.
