## Summary Add Elastic Agent as another way to collect monitoring data. This work is tracked by https://github.com/elastic/observability-docs/issues/2602. There will be additional PRs to address changes required to monitoring docs for other stack components. TBH, it pains me a bit to see how many places users need to go to find info about stack monitoring, but fixing that problem is not in scope for these updates unfortunately. :-/ Please respond to questions addressed to reviewers. ### Checklist Delete any items that are not applicable to this PR. - [x] Any text added follows [EUI's writing guidelines](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/guidelines/writing), uses sentence case text and includes [i18n support](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/packages/kbn-i18n/README.md) ### To Do before merging - [x] Remove questions to reviewers. --------- Co-authored-by: Kevin Lacabane <klacabane@gmail.com>

The {kib} {monitor-features} serve two separate purposes:
|
|
|
|
. To visualize monitoring data from across the {stack}. You can view health and
|
|
performance data for {es}, {ls}, {ents}, APM, and Beats in real time,
|
|
as well as analyze past performance.
|
|
. To monitor {kib} itself and route that data to the monitoring cluster.
|
|
|
|
If you enable monitoring across the {stack}, each monitored component is
|
|
considered unique based on its persistent UUID, which is written to the
|
|
<<settings,`path.data`>> directory when the node or instance starts.
|
|
|
|

{ref}/monitor-elasticsearch-cluster.html[Monitor a cluster].

|
|
Want to monitor your fleet of {agent}s, too? Use {fleet} instead of the Stack
|
|
Monitoring UI. To learn more, refer to
|
|
{fleet-guide}/monitor-elastic-agent.html[Monitor {agent}s].
