What it is and what it does
This is a Python implementation of an Elastic Agent client, designed to let Python code act as a component within the Elastic Agent framework. It uses gRPC to communicate with Elastic Agent, with protocol definitions and code generation handled via protobuf and grpcio-tools. The package is marked as a technical preview and requires Python 3.10 or later.
The typical workflow involves writing a Python script that imports the client library, packaging it as an executable component, and registering it with Elastic Agent via a spec file. The package handles the gRPC plumbing and protocol generation automatically, but you are responsible for implementing the actual component logic and integrating it into an Elastic Agent deployment.
Use it for
- Build a custom Python-based data collector or input plugin for Elastic Agent.
- Integrate legacy Python applications or scripts as managed components within Elastic Agent.
- Develop a Python shipper or processor that communicates with Elastic Agent over gRPC.
- Create a test or monitoring component that reports metrics back to Elastic Agent.
