Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the repository and the referenced Elastic Integration and Elastic Agent workflows to determine whether Python components are supported; done should clearly answer the three execution and packaging questions.

Description

Hi, just stumbled over this new feature. Not sure if I get it correctly, but it seems this repo allows running a custom Python script managed by Elastic Agent?

I’ve already once built a custom Elastic Integration using the httpjson input and deployed it locally in Kibana.

I am wondering if it is possible now to include a Python script in such an integration and use it as input. Such that this can be processed and sent to Elastic by the Agent.

Main Questions:

Is this possible? Can an integration package include a Python component that Elastic Agent runs?

Where should the script go? Would the agent handle execution automatically?

If not, is the intended use case to place this only on already installed agents and have them run it manually?

Thank you so much :)
