Description

### Description

Users need to browse to the Beats docs to find explanation on how to set up certain aspects of the Elastic Agent. For instance, data duplication and strategies to prevent it [is documented here](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/beats/filebeat/filebeat-deduplication), but cannot be found in the Elastic Agent documentation.

It would make sense to cross-reference the docs, as we do mention options in [this blog post for example](https://www.elastic.co/blog/log-deduplication-with-elasticsearch).

### Resources
