Everything here looks correct as per updated expectations with Fleet Server, with one question I will ask the team. I will send an update via email and we can discuss how to update test content. @amolnater-qasource @dikshachauhan-qasource thanks for confirming.

@nchaulet hi - Can you confirm the Elastic-Agent Policy should be installed by default in the stack, but not a part of either 'Default' policy? I would like to be pointed to the dev ticket that relates to Elastic-Agent integration please? I see this for adding it, but it doesn't have much context:
#86112
elastic/integrations#462
And here it is in the Integrations repo - with a changelog too! :)
https://github.com/elastic/integrations/blob/master/packages/elastic_agent/changelog.yml

The test team can update more content and test post-7.12 things starting now so any details are helpful for citing specs. @ph fyi.

Hi @EricDavisX

Thank you for the confirmation on this. We will validate above as per feedback round is completed by all.

Thanks

Yes it's correct the Elastic Agent package only install assets, and do nothing if added to a policy.
Collecting data for elastic agent is controlled by the policy monitoring settings and not this package.

I will close this one, it should be installed it more a supporting "package" and only provide a dashboard to visualize monitoring information for Elastic agent. @EricDavisX This could be a test that we actually add, to validate that monitoring information can be show in the dashboard.

we can track remaining questions in #94462 - @amolnater-qasource @dikshachauhan-qasource please assign that out and help me drive the questions + test content + tests.
