Is it safe to assume that given Elastic Agent is built on top of \*beats technology that it'll support the use of different output types such as Kafka? - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/kafka-output.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/kafka-output.html) ---

Unfortunately I can't share with you any roadmap details or future plans, but your idea sounds like a useful feature. It's always good to open an Enhancement Request for Beats to suggest it or describe your use case: > **[Build software better, together](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md)** > > ic/beats/issues/new ---
