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.

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}}.

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.

{{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.
