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
fluentdconfiguration file.That way the
fluentdservice will be connecting to your external ElasticSearch cluster rather than a local one inside the Kubernetes cluster itself.Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
