Instrumentation and data onboarding are often the most time-consuming tasks in any observability or security initiative. Learn how we are simplifying the full instrument-to-action workflow: collect all telemetry data from a host with a single Elastic Agent, parse custom data before ingest in an intuitive UI, protect endpoints from security threats with automated response, and centrally manage your entire fleet of agents from a single pane.
