Ingesting data for Elastic solutions

Elastic solutions—​Security, Observability, and Search—​are loaded with features and functionality to help you get value and insights from your data. Elastic Agent and Elastic integrations can help, and are the best place to start.

When you use integrations with solutions, you have an integrated experience that offers easier implementation and decreases the time it takes to get insights and value from your data.

High-level overview

To use Elastic Agent and Elastic integrations with Elastic solutions:

1. Create an Elastic Cloud deployment for your solution. If you don’t have an Elastic Cloud account, you can sign up for a free trial to get started.
2. Add the Elastic integration for your data source to the deployment.
3. Install Elastic Agent on the systems whose data you want to collect.

Note

Elastic serverless makes using solutions even easier. Sign up for a free trial, and check it out.
