Elastic Security is a free and open solution that helps detect, investigate, and respond to threats using data from endpoints, cloud, and network sources. It offers SIEM and endpoint protection with powerful search, correlation, and visualization features in Kibana. It enables security teams to streamline investigations and strengthen their overall security posture.

The Elastic Security integration collects the following events:

alert: - Retrieve alerts from Elasticsearch Instance using Elasticsearch _search API.

Elastic Managed integrations are only supported on Elastic Cloud Serverless and Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments. An Elastic Managed integration lets you ingest data from a cloud source while avoiding the orchestration, management, and maintenance associated with standard ingest infrastructure. Elastic runs the collector for you, so you can focus on your data instead of the infrastructure that collects it.

For more information, refer to Elastic Managed integrations and the Elastic Managed integrations FAQ.
