No MDM for Linux? A 68-line Elastic workflow keeps every endpoint's config current
Elastic InfoSec uses a 68-line workflow to keep Linux endpoint and AI-agent config current without MDM.
Elastic Security Labs describes a 68-line Elastic Workflow that keeps Linux workstation configuration current without MDM. Every six hours it lists endpoints running Elastic Agent and Elastic Defend, then queues one response action only if that script is not already pending. The production use case pushes managed Cursor and Codex settings, including legacy OpenTelemetry defaults in managed_config.toml. The pattern was validated on Elastic Stack 9.5.1 and requires Workflows, available as GA since Elastic 9.4.
