   Check [Configuration Examples](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/configuration-examples-fleet) for more ready-to-use manifests.

ECK automatically configures secure connections between all components. Fleet will be set up, and all agents are enrolled in the default policy.
1. Monitor the status of Fleet Server and Elastic Agent.
   ```sh
   kubectl get agent
   ```
   ```sh
   NAME                       HEALTH   AVAILABLE   EXPECTED   VERSION      AGE
   elastic-agent-quickstart   green    3           3          9.2.2    14s
   fleet-server-quickstart    green    1           1          9.2.2    19s
   ```
2. List all the Pods belonging to a given Elastic Agent specification.
   ```sh
   kubectl get pods --selector='agent.k8s.elastic.co/name=elastic-agent-quickstart'
   ```
   ```sh
   NAME                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-t49fd   1/1     Running   0          54s
   elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-xbcxr   1/1     Running   0          54s
   elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-zqp55   1/1     Running   0          54s
   ```
3. Access logs for one of the Pods.
   ```sh
   kubectl logs -f elastic-agent-quickstart-agent-xbcxr
   ```
4. Configure the policy used by Elastic Agents. Check [Elastic Agent policies](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/reference/fleet/agent-policy) for more details.
