Deploying Elastic Agent with Confluent Cloud’s Elasticsearch Connector
Integrating Elastic Agent with Confluent Cloud’s updated Elasticsearch Sink Connector offers organizations a fully managed, scalable solution for efficient data ingestion. This integration supports over 300 Elastic Integrations, facilitating seamless data collection from the edge, streaming through Kafka, and into Elasticsearch clusters. By decoupling data producers from consumers, Kafka serves as a resilient buffer, enhancing system resilience during data spikes and optimizing resource utilization. Additionally, the new Output per Integration feature allows for precise control over data routing, enabling critical security logs to be sent to Confluent Cloud/Kafka while directing less critical data directly to Elasticsearch.
