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:

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

1. In Kibana, find Integrations in the navigation menu or use the global search field.
2. Search for and select an integration that can run as an Elastic Managed integration.
3. If the integration's Overview page opens, select Add <integration>.
4. Provide the credentials and any other required configuration for the source.
5. Choose the deployment mode:
   • Serverless Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability Generally available This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments. Stack 9.5+ The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability Generally available since 9.5 This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes. In the Deployment section, select Elastic Managed Integration.
   • Stack Preview 9.0-9.4 The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability Preview from 9.0 to 9.4 This functionality is in technical preview and is ready for evaluation. Use with caution in production; it is not recommended for mission-critical workloads. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes. In the Deployment options section, select Agentless.
6. Select Save and continue.

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