Hi there!

I would like to understand something related to elastic agents. When I have two agents enrolled with the same policy, is the ingestion automatically balanced depending on the agent's available resources, or do they work independently ingesting the same logs?

Thank you in advance!

Hey,

if someone is interested, the answer is that they work independently. The resources aren't automatically balanced.
