## Ingest [_ingest]
39
-
40
-
There are multiple methods for ingesting data.
41
-
The best approach depends on the kind of data you're ingesting and your specific use case.
42
-
For example, you can collect and ship logs, metrics, and other types of data with {{agent}} or collect detailed performance information with {{product.apm}}.
43
-
If you want to transform and enrich data before it's stored, you can use {{es}} ingest pipelines or {{ls}}.

### {{agent}} and {{integrations}}[stack-components-agent]
48
-
49
-
{{agent}} is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host.
50
-
It can also protect hosts from security threats, query data from operating systems, and forward data from remote services or hardware.
51
-
Each agent has a single policy to which you can add [integrations](integration-docs://reference/index.md) for new data sources, security protections, and more.
52
-
You can also use [{{agent}} processors](/reference/fleet/agent-processors.md) to sanitize or enrich your data.
53
-
54
-
{{fleet}} enables you to centrally manage {{agents}} and their policies.
55
-
Use {{fleet}} to monitor the state of all your {{agents}}, manage agent policies, and upgrade {{agent}} binaries or integrations.

### {{product.apm}} [stack-components-apm]
60
-
61
-
{{product.apm}} is an application performance monitoring system.
62
-
It allows you to monitor software services and applications in real-time by collecting detailed performance information on response time for incoming requests, database queries, calls to caches, external HTTP requests, and more.
63
-
This makes it easy to pinpoint and fix performance problems quickly.

91
-
{{ls}} is a data collection engine with real-time pipelining capabilities.
92
-
It can dynamically unify data from disparate sources and normalize the data into destinations of your choice.
93
-
{{ls}} supports a broad array of input, filter, and output plugins, with many native codecs further simplifying the ingestion process.
