Description

The current documentation states that Synthetics should only be used with Agents enrolled in Fleet.

Whilst this is true for the majority of cases, there is a mechanism where stand alone Agents may be needed (such as in K8 environments with auto discovery). This cannot be used with the Synthetics App or workflow, but may still be a reasonable solution for those that need it, relying on Uptime, or custom dashboards.

This should be documented so that users requiring this can see examples of how to use the product in this way.

Resources

This is a replacement requirement for https://github.com/elastic/observability-docs/issues/2859, as we intend to document this use case for working with Agent in standalone mode for Synthetics.

Collaboration

The product team will provide the initial content.
