= Configure logging for Fleet-managed {agent}s | ||
|
||
Agent monitoring, which includes collecting agent logs and agent metrics, | ||
is enabled by default on each agent policy assigned to an agent. If | ||
logging for the agent is not required, you need to deselect the logging option when | ||
creating the agent policy. | ||
|
||
. In {kib}, go to *Management > {fleet}*. | ||
|
||
. Under the *Agent policies* tab, click *Create agent policy* > *Advanced options*. | ||
|
||
. Under *Agent monitoring*, deselect *Collect agent logs*. | ||
|
||
. To confirm your change, click *Save changes*. | ||
|
||
To disable logging on an agent policy already assigned to an agent: | ||
|
||
. Select the *Agents* tab, and then click the agent policy. | ||
|
||
. Click the *Settings* tab. | ||
|
||
. Under *Agent monitoring*, deselect *Collect agent logs*. | ||
|
||
. To confirm your change, click *Save changes*. | ||

[[agent-view-log-events]] | ||
== View log events | ||
|
||
The *Logs* page for each agent enables you to monitor all of the log events flowing in | ||
from your agents and integrations in a centralized view. | ||
|
||
To help you get started with your analysis faster, you can use the search bar to create | ||
structured queries using {kibana-ref}/kuery-query.html[Kibana Query Language]. Along with | ||
the power of search, you also have the option to view historical logs from a | ||
specified time range. | ||
|
||
. In {kib}, go to *Management > {fleet}*. | ||
|
||
. Under *Agents*, click the agent name listed in the *Host* column. | ||
|
||
. Click the *Logs* tab. | ||
|
||
To view log events for an agent or related programs, such as {filebeat} or {fleet-server}, | ||
make your selections under *Dataset*. | ||
|
||

|
||
To view specific log levels relating to a log event, make your selections under *Log level*. | ||
You can select from `error`, `warn`, and `info`. | ||
|
||

|
||
When you have searched and filtered your logs for a specific log event, you may want to | ||
examine the metadata and the structured fields associated with that event in the {logs-app}. | ||
Click *Open in Logs*. | ||
|
||

[[agent-logging-levels]] | ||
== Set the agent logging level | ||
|
||
Within {fleet}, you can specify the logging level for each agent to help | ||
troubleshoot any issues. | ||
|
||
. In {kib}, go to *Management > {fleet}*. | ||
|
||
. Under *Agents*, select the agent from the *Host* column. | ||
|
||
. Click the *Logs* tab. | ||
|
||
. Located at the bottom of the Logs page, you can select the *Agent logging level*: | ||
|
||
* `error`: Logs errors and critical errors. | ||
* `warning`: Logs warnings, errors, and critical errors. | ||
* `info`: Logs informational messages, including the number of events that are published. | ||
Also logs any warnings, errors, or critical errors. | ||
* `debug`: Logs debug messages, including a detailed printout of all events flushed. Also | ||
logs informational messages, warnings, errors, and critical errors. | ||
+ | ||
. Once you have made your selection, click *Apply changes*. | ||
