# Third party agent

The Middleware platform supports the ingestion of telemetry signals from multiple third-party collection agents, enabling the transmission of telemetry data without requiring any modifications to your existing infrastructure.

**Already running another agent? Keep it.** Send its telemetry to Middleware without changing your infrastructure.

1. **Pick your agent** — Datadog Agent or Elastic Logstash
2. **Point it at Middleware** — Add Middleware as a destination in the agent's configuration
3. **Check what is supported** — Some agent features may not be fully supported yet

## Supported agents

Each guide covers the configuration change for that agent and which of its features Middleware supports.

- [Datadog Agent](/get-started/agent/datadog) — Dual-ship from an existing Datadog Agent — keep sending to Datadog while you move to Middleware.
- [Elastic Logstash](/get-started/agent/elastic-logstash) — Forward logs from your existing Logstash pipelines to Middleware.

> **Some features offered by third-party agents may not be fully supported.** For a comprehensive list of supported features, please consult the agent-specific documentation above.
