Hi there,

You can do that by following the steps here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-elasticsearch-fluentd-and-kibana-efk-logging-stack-on-kubernetes#step-4-creating-the-fluentd-daemonset

However rather than deploy the ElasticSearch cluster inside the Kubernetes cluster, you could just specify the details of your external cluster in the fluentd configuration file.

That way the fluentd service will be connecting to your external ElasticSearch cluster rather than a local one inside the Kubernetes cluster itself.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
