Cherry-pick of PR #19811 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
Agent will now always log to
${path.data}/logs/elastic-agent-json.log
no matter the settings fromelastic-agent.yml
(those still apply, for the user specified choice). With monitoring always on Filebeat will always be started and will send the logs from${path.data}/logs/elastic-agent-json.log
to elasticsearch.The spawned filebeat and metricbeat now log to
filebeat-json.log
andmetricbeat-json.log
in JSON format and forward to elasticsearch.Indexes:
logs-elastic.agent-default
{logs,metrics}-elastic.agent.filebeat-default
{logs,metrics}-elastic.agent.metricbeat-default
Why is it important?
So all logs of the Elastic Agents on hosts are in elasticsearch so monitoring/troubleshooting of the Fleet is much easier.
