[gbamparop]

Provide an API endpoint so users can call an API with basic configurations that would set up the scaffolding data streams, configurations etc.

@gbamparop Did you create this by a mistake or as a placeholder?

This is a placeholder for API-based onboarding which is still in discussion.

Thanks @isaclfreire. This issue refers to the API endpoints that users could possibly use to onboard logs instead of going through the UI flow. The screenshots seem to be related to the API key that will be used by the Elastic Agent.

Oh ok! I will create a different issue then, thanks for clarifying!

@gbamparop can you help me understand the difference between this and #159991? Or does that API completely cover this use-case? The description is a bit sparse. 😇

This was created in the early stages when we were discussing about API-based onboarding, so users won't have to go through the flow in the UI, closing as we haven't discussed it further since then.
