Enable an Elastic Managed integration

Enable an Elastic Managed integration in Kibana to start collecting data from a cloud source. Elastic provisions and operates the collector for you on Elastic-managed infrastructure, so there's nothing to install or maintain. For details on the architecture, refer to Elastic Managed integrations.

To enable an Elastic Managed integration, you need:

  • One of these deployment types:
    • An Elastic Cloud Serverless project
    • An Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment on version 9.5 or later, or on version 9.0 to 9.4 to use the technical preview
  • The Fleet: All and Integrations: All Kibana privileges to create or edit an Elastic Managed integration. These are the same privileges required for any Fleet integration.

To find which Elastic integrations can run as Elastic Managed integrations in Kibana:

  1. In Kibana, find Integrations in the navigation menu or use the global search field.
  2. Open the Setup method filter and select Managed Integration.
  1. In Kibana, find Integrations in the navigation menu or use the global search field.
  2. Open the Setup method filter and select Agentless.
  1. In Kibana, find Integrations in the navigation menu or use the global search field.
  2. Enable the Only agentless integrations toggle.

For a complete list of integrations that can run as Elastic Managed integrations, refer to Managed integrations quick reference.

  1. In Kibana, go to Integrations and select an integration that can be deployed as an Elastic Managed integration.
  2. Select Add <integration>.
  3. Provide the credentials and any other required configuration for the source.
  4. Choose the deployment mode:
    • In the Deployment section, select Elastic Managed Integration.
    • In the Deployment options section, select Agentless.
  5. Select Save and continue.

Within a few minutes, data from the source appears in the integration's data streams in your cluster.

Tip

For integrations that authenticate to a cloud provider, you can use cloud connector authentication to avoid managing API keys directly.
