I saw in the previous lesson "Securing the Elasticsearch Cluster" you generated new certificates for transport layer creating a ca cert elastic-stack.p12. What you I want to keep the defaults http_ca.crt, http.p12, and transport.p12. Which certs do I use to convert to a .pem and how to I get the fleet-server.crt and fleet-server.key
Great efforts and Thanks for sharing your knowledge. How to update an existing elastic search cluster and kibana for setting fleet server any vedio available on this sir.
Hi Ali! Great Video. I followed your instructions and it is working. At the begining you say, you have at the ingest VM a fortinet file beat module to parse the logs - by that do you mean the fortinet module in the integrations, where do you can choose between filebeat only and elastic agent only, right?
Initially I had installed Filebeat with the Fortinet module enabled on the ingest VM in another video. For this Fleet and Elastic Agent video I installed the Agent with the Fortinet integration. You can stop using Filebeat by stopping the service with systemctl stop filebeat.service and keep Elastic Agent working. Or you can stop elastic-agent.service and keep using Filebeat.
Hi Ali, your elastic videos are fantastic, I would like to know if you have setup multiple fleet server sitting behind a AWS ALB (let's encrypt certificate is attached to ALB), if you have done a video of that is appreciated
hello sir i am getting this issue when i click on fleet "Kibana cannot connect to the Elastic Package Registry, which provides Elastic Agent integrations Ensure the proxy server(opens in a new tab or window) or your own registry(opens in a new tab or window) is configured correctly, or try again later. " how can i resolve this issue ?
Nice Vid Ali. I've installed Fleet and some Integrations. But when I try a CISCO FTD, the installation gets completed, No errors observed. Yet the Data Streams are not created. Any suggestion? I am supposed to receive the logs into a Ingestion Server with the Elastic Agent installed and the FTD sends the logs to the Ingestion server. In my integration I am using the IP address of the Ingestion server port 9003. The Ingestion server windows firewall has the UDP port opened. All this is on Windows btw. I use the same Agent policy for both the Windows OS and the Cisco devices. I tried to create a new Cisco policy to separate the logs, but then it tries to install the Agent on the Ingestion server which has the Elastic Agent already installed for the other Integrations. I even changed the Namespace on the Integration settings to user other name than "default" and eve tried with "default". Same results whatsoever. Thanks for your help if at all possible.
Curiously, despite following the Securing the Elasticsearch Cluster video precisely, the Agent ssl configs dont work for me. I'm receiving certificate errors 😕
How do we enable the metric collection when enabled only log collection with elastic-agent initially. (option to collect metrics using elastic-agents), is it just to update the configuration or do we need to redeploy?
Thanks for such informative video !! How can we install Elastic Agent on multiple remote server ? Is there any deployment tool of method for installing Agent on bulk.?
It was clear explanation. Thank you for that. At 19:30 why did we add 9005 port ? Please explain. Also do you have any video made explaining Data streams ?
great job man, can u make a video for integrating search guard for alerting and securing the cluster and is search guard the best practice for alerting in ES since the xpack is not free my need is to send alerts to email, i tried elastalert tool but with no success in the installation even with elastalert2 i faced a lot of issue while installation

Hi Ali, I would really appreciate some help, how can I tell which is the ca in use to generate tls/ssl certs for fleetserver on a secured cluster, i have access to the cli for the hosts, and i can go to the yaml files to check, but im not sure which one to use
By default, when you start elasticsearch for the first time, TLS is configured automatically. A CA certificate is generated and stored in /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt
@@AliYounesGo4IT thank you for the prompt response, the thing is another member of my team set it up and went through the documentation to make new certs, he is not available now, left the company, I was trying to see if i could find out which ones are being used cos there are a number of diferently named ones. any help would be really appreciated,

Yes, Elasticsearch is free, you can download it and use it. There is a paid license where you get more feature like Machine Learning and Alerting and many others, but the basic license is free. You can use it to ingest logs from whatever system you like.
Hi, when i try to create a certificate for fleet server using the same command as yours I get following, what could be issue? without this certificate I'm not able to install elastic agent even after I pass --insecure it's show certificate error.

Thank you for your awesome contents always. And I have one question. After installing Fleet server when I try to "add Agent", I copied tar instructions and ran. Then error occurs and the message is "Error: already installed at: /opt/Elastic/Agent" In your contents install goes right. but mine does not. Do you have any idea what I did wrong?
Fleet Server and Agents have to be in different machines because they are the same binaries (agents) with have different configs. If you try to install an agent in the same machine of Fleet Server it will identify that you are already using the package.
@@leonardohenrique6878 so is it not possible to install only the Fleet Server, connect the fleet server and than add under the fleet server policy the fortinet integration?

Thanks Ali, This is very useful video.
You earned a sub man! Your RUclips channel has some quality content, definitely going to be revisiting your videos! 🎉
Your elastic series has been amazing. Earned another sub for sure! I tried clicking through to your blog but I can't reach the site for some reason

you can write an ansible playbook

Because this port will be used to listen for incoming logs from the fortigate firewall
Im confused, what's the difference between elastic agent and apm agent or are these the same?
Is there any way to download and deploy fleet server manually other that setting up proxy or self managed EPR
