How to Debug Elastic Agent as Standalone.

[ph]

As a user I would like to debug a local install of the Elastic Agent.

Things to look for

1. Retrieve the status of the running elastic agent using the status subcommand. elastic-agent status https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/x-pack/elastic-agent/pkg/agent/cmd/status.go

2. Inspect the Log of the running elastic agent

3. Increase the log level of the running elastic agent

@EricDavisX I believe you have a docs we could use to complete this page?

I'm still working on refining the personal document with tips and tricks. I'll focus on that shortly. I expect we'll want to update this page with it:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/master/fleet-troubleshooting.html

[EricDavisX]

the team has put some additions into the document. @ph when you're free, if you want to review and advise on more specifics we should add (it is hard to know how far to go in the 'troubleshooting guide' versus just regular doc for intended use.

@amolnater-qasource @dikshachauhan-qasource if you can review the above page specifically, and think about what we've learned recently and what we might want to highlight for troubleshooting (specifically) for a stand-alone Agent I would appreciate the feedback here! Thank you.

Hi @EricDavisX
We have reported a ticket to add some port opening steps for secondary agent connectivity with Fleet Server agent at link #743

We are continuously going through Fleet documents and will report tickets if got any issues.

Thanks

We also need to document what each status means (for the values returned by the status command and the statuses that are displayed in the UI).
