Summary

This PR adds a community-contributed example to the "Configure offline endpoints and air-gapped environments" documentation. It introduces the artifacts-bundler Bash-based CLI tool that automates downloading Elastic Stack artifacts, endpoint security content, and optionally builds an NGINX image for serving the content in air-gapped environments.

Why This Is Useful

Preparing air-gapped Elastic deployments—especially Elastic Defend with endpoint artifact requirements—is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. This tool simplifies:

  • Multi-version artifact downloading
  • Endpoint manifest and global artifact fetch
  • Bundle creation (.tar.gz)
  • Optional Docker/Nginx server generation

This is especially helpful for DoD or offline regulated environments.

Placement

This contribution adds a dropdown section under:

Step 3: Manually copy artifact updates

in the configure-offline-endpoints-air-gapped-environments.md document. It provides an alternative method using a community-contributed Bash script to automate downloading and bundling endpoint artifacts.
