5. Custom
While presets are designed to simplify the tuning process for Elastic Agent, the Custom option allows the user to have more granular control over performance. You can still refer to the old guidance provided by Elastic, which is still relevant on Agent as the queue.mem.events are now also configurable. The old guidance, available here, offers practical examples and insights on tuning Elastic Beats performance, including batch size, worker count, and more.
To provide further guidance, the table in our public documentation shows the effects on EPS throughput performance as a function of the performance of the Balanced preset, for various permutations of these tuning parameters, for users who require more granular control. These parameters can be set when the Custom preset is chosen.
In conclusion, Elastic’s new Performance Presets provide a convenient way to fine-tune Elastic Agent for different performance requirements. Whether you need a balanced performance, high throughput, scalability, or low latency, these presets offer optimized configurations to meet your needs. Happy tuning!
