Hello

We manage everything Elastic via Puppet. That means Beats, Kibana, etc.

How do we migrate from Beats to Fleet, with Puppet?

Is there even a way to Configure Fleet via Puppet yet?

All I can find, are guides that show Fleet setup via Kibana GUI, but setting up and maintaining Elastic Agent on hundreds of Machines via a GUI seems like it would be a full-time job.

Is there something I have misunderstood, or is not aware of?

Hello @maltewhiite

What ever you can perform via GUI is actionable through the API layer. Please refer to: [Fleet APIs | Fleet User Guide [7.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/fleet-api-docs.html) for details.

I'd be happy to speak with you further on your specific requirements in making this migration.

cheers  
Nima

Thanks! I was not aware of the API. I will look into it with the team.
