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 from elastic-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 and metricbeat-json.log in JSON format and forward to elasticsearch.

Indexes:

  • Elastic Agent - logs-elastic.agent-default
  • Filebeat - {logs,metrics}-elastic.agent.filebeat-default
  • Metricbeat - {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.
